Devers is slashing just .240/.348/.387 with two homers since joining the Giants and an inability to attend expected workouts would add to concerns about his offensive production with the new team. With eight years to go on his contract, though, these returns are still quite early.

The San Francisco Giants made a decision on Rafael Devers before their game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday.

The Boston Red Sox signing Gold Glove winner Alex Bregman at third base forced him to move to DH, something he was openly upset about in spring training. Then, things with Boston reached a fever pitch when Devers then refused to play first base after a season-ending injury to Triston Casas.
