Three weeks into the Rafael Devers era, the San Francisco Giants find themselves sitting in the third wild-card spot even though Devers has been merely solid rather than great through 20 games. He's hitting .240/.348/.387 with two home runs for the Giants after slashing .272/.401/.504 with 15 homers in 73 games with the Boston Red Sox.
The Boston Red Sox moved on from Rafael Devers in large part because of all of the drama of the season so far. Devers is a superstar-level player who was the best slugger in the Boston lineup, but clearly the drama became too much to bear and the club opted to move on and trade him to the San Francisco Giants.
Giants Facing Decision After New Rafael Devers Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Designated hitter Rafael Devers is in his ninth major-league season and his first as a member of the San Francisco Giants.
Devers still has yet to play the field for the Giants, and negative speculation got louder amid a damaging new report on Tuesday July 8, 2025.
"Look, I don't think you can ever have enough pitching," Posey said. "So we'll just keep our options open for what might present itself."
Shortstop Willy Adames went 1 for 3, hit a solo homer and drove in three runs. He totaled seven RBIs in the series against the A’s. Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores each had two hits and scored once.
The San Francisco Giants have a long-term answer at shortstop, but it never hurts to have a backup in the organization.
