The Red Sox have been mired in a 5-10 slump over the last three weeks.
And while there is not one overarching reason for Boston’s slide in the standings, Rafael Devers’ struggles at the plate have certainly played into the Sox’ woes recently.
After signing a 10-year, $313.5 million contract with Boston this past offseason, Devers is tied for fourth in MLB with 49 RBI. But the 26-year-old third baseman is also batting just .241 with a .774 OPS.
Could Devers’ recent issues at the plate be due to an injury? During his weekly appearance on WEEI’s “Gresh & Fauria”, Alex Cora offered up a cryptic response regarding the health of Boston’s franchise infielder.
