BOSTON -- An up-and-down sophomore season for Rafael Devers hit another pothole on Saturday night, when the third baseman was forced out of a 10-4 win over the Twins with a left hamstring injury that sent him back to the 10-day disabled list. Tzu-Wei Lin was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move.
Devers had just returned from the DL following the All-Star break after being sidelined for 10 days with left shoulder inflammation.
The young slugger had just started to heat up again, crushing a game-tying homer that led the Red Sox to victory on Friday and a laser double on Saturday before the untimely injury.
