BOSTON -- Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers said Sunday that he won't need surgery and expects to be ready for spring training, a day after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation.
Devers, who turns 28 on Oct. 24, said his shoulders -- mostly the left -- have bothered him since spring training. He finalized a 10-year contract with the Red Sox in January 2023 that is worth $313.5 million. He batted .272 with 28 homers and 83 RBI in 138 games this season. The three-time All-Star leads AL third basemen with 12 errors.
