US EditionRed Sox place Romy Gonzalez on IL, still don't plan to use Devers at first
- The Boston Red Sox have placed Romy Gonzalez, who plays first base, on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 8 due to a left quad contusion he sustained in a collision last Wednesday.
- This move follows a season-ending knee injury to Triston Casas, and despite speculation, the team does not plan to shift Rafael Devers to first base, as he has opposed the idea.
- Manager Alex Cora confirmed the club will continue using Gonzalez and Abraham Toro at first base, with Nick Sogard recalled from Triple-A to split time with Toro in Gonzalez’s absence.
- Gonzalez appeared in 17 games this season, hitting.308 with six doubles, while Sogard, a versatile switch-hitter, hit.188 in Triple-A before his recall; Cora called Gonzalez "a good defender" and described the IL stint as "short-term."
- The team faces a temporary shortage at first base but expects Gonzalez to return by May 18, and Cora indicated the Red Sox will continue exploring alternatives to improve the position.

Gonzalez had been part of the platoon filling the shoes of Triston Casas, who ruptured the patellar tendon in his left knee on May 2 and underwent season-ending surgery. The 28-year-old Gonzalez subbed for Casas on May 2 and then made three starts at first in Casas’ stead. D…
