Rafael Devers is in the middle of perhaps the worst slump of his MLB career.
He went 0-for-11 with eight strikeouts in three games against the Tampa Bay Rays this week, contributing to a dismal September for the Red Sox star. Devers is batting .183 this month, accumulating just one extra-base hit over 17 games.
The 27-year-old hasn’t hit a home run since Aug. 25, and has only collected one extra-base hit in September.
Manager Alex Cora discussed Devers’s struggles ahead of Boston’s series against the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park this weekend. He said he’s concerned about Devers’s lack of production, but he’s hopeful the hitter can figure it out with nine regular season games remaining.
