BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has been scratched from the All-Star Game with left shoulder soreness.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Devers has been dealing with an injury in his AC joint for a while. Although the 27-year-old Dominican was in the lineup for Tuesday night’s game against Oakland, Cora said “he’s been grinding through a few things.”
“As a group, we believe it’s a good time for him to get some rest and take care of it,” Cora said.
Cora said the team notified Major League Baseball, which will announce a replacement for next Tuesday’s game in Arlington, Texas.
