BOSTON — The hits just keep on coming for the Red Sox.
Their worst loss in 99 years, a 28-5 defeat to the Blue Jays on Friday night, came with another costly price. Rafael Devers suffered a right hamstring injury, and the All-Star third baseman on Saturday was placed on the 10-day injured list. The injury was officially described as right hamstring inflammation.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Devers felt his hamstring hurting after his final at-bat of the night in the fifth inning, saying the third baseman said a swing caused discomfort. But Cora said he noticed Devers running gingerly on his double in the first inning.
