Morning sports update: Here’s Alex Cora’s challenge to Rafael Devers in 2019

The Bruins and Celtics both return to action tomorrow. The Bruins host the Sharks on Tuesday at 7 p.m., while the Celtics are in Toronto to play the Raptors at 8 p.m.

Alex Cora challenged Rafael Devers to be more like a Yankee counterpart: Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is only 22 years old, and, having played only a part of 2017, he’s entering what will be just his second season in the majors. Now, Red Sox manager Alex Cora wants him to be like a rival: Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar.

“If this kid clicks the way Andujar did with the Yankees, we’re that much better offensively,” Cora said of Devers.
