Red-Hot Devers Out for Rest of SF Giants’ Season with Core Injury
Devers had played through the injury most of the season, and the Giants said surgery is possible after he sees a specialist.
- On Sunday, the San Francisco Giants placed Rafael Devers on the 60-day injured list, officially ending his 2026 season due to a core muscle injury.
- Devers managed the core muscle issue throughout the year, choosing to play through the discomfort despite the Giants' elimination from postseason contention.
- The 29-year-old produced 37 home runs and 98 RBIs, power numbers that rank highest for a Giants player since Barry Bonds hit 45 home runs in 2004.
- Devers will meet Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia on Monday to evaluate if surgery is necessary; the Giants selected outfielder Scott Bandura from Triple-A Sacramento to replace him.
- This development will not impact Devers' availability for the 2027 season, with the Giants expecting him ready for full-squad workouts beginning mid-February.
