Rafael Devers producing as Boston's DH after slow start

Rafael Devers has emerged as Boston's designated hitter after a slow start and declined to move to first base during the 2025 season.
The Red Sox tried to convince Devers to shift to first base following Triston Casas's season-ending knee surgery, but Devers remained opposed.
Devers regained form by reaching base in 19 of 20 games, batting.397 with six homers and 20 RBIs, and hit his first career walk-off in a comeback win over Atlanta.
Devers stated through a team interpreter that he feels very comfortable as a DH and follows a daily routine, while teammate Alex praised his hitting and plate discipline.
The Red Sox snapped a four-game losing streak with the 7-6 win, suggesting Devers's role as DH improves team performance and morale going forward.
