2024 Fantasy Outlook
Terence Mann told us in Field of Dreams that the one constant through all the years is baseball. He was wrong; the one constant is Devers continues to rake in Boston whether they are in a boom year contending for a title or a bust year beginning another refresh cycle as the club was in 2023. Devers finished just inside the top 30 overall fantasy players in 2023 despite the lineup issues around him with the early injury to Duvall and the ups and downs of the the youngsters Casas and Duran. Devers continued his Saberhagenmetric cycle of 30 homer & 100+ RBI seasons in odd-numbered seasons but may have fallen into the trap of the new shifting rules. Devers had his highest pull percentage in five seasons and hit for his lowest full-season batting average since 2018. His StatCast measures are still extremely red, in a good way, nearly across the board as he enters the prime years for power hitters. Read Past Outlooks
Frustrates Yankees on Saturday
Devers went 1-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Yankees. He was also hit by a pitch.
ANALYSIS
He was plunked by the second pitch he saw from Gerrit Cole, a suspicious occurrence given Devers' long track record of success against the right-hander, but it was Cole's intentional walk of the Boston star with the bases empty in the fourth inning that sparked both his bat, and the team's offense as a whole, to life. Saturday's performance snapped an eight-game RBI drought for the 27-year-old, and on the season Devers is slashing .278/.360/.531 with 28 homers, three steals, 83 RBI and 86 runs.

Stat Review
How does Rafael Devers compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Coming out of the break, Devers .324/.379/.602 was pacing for a career-best year. He then spent 10 days on the IL with a sore hamstring. After returning, Devers was unable to recapture form, posting a .248/.325/.383 line the rest of the way. Other than the 1.5-mph drop in fly-ball exit velocity, Devers' underlying skills weren't much different over the second half, but his BABIP dropped from .353 to .289. For the season, he still managed a career-best 140 wRC+, but a drop in homers and a less potent Red Sox lineup resulted in fewer than 90 runs and 90 RBI for Devers. He eclipsed the century mark in each of the prior two full seasons. His defense remained below average, but he showed signs of improvement. With Devers still just 26-year-old, his best season is probably yet to come. He doesn't run, but Devers crushes the rest of the categories. He may not be first-round material, but he's in the discussion.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
IL a possibility
The Red Sox are expected to place either Devers or Romy Gonzalez on the injured list to make room for Bobby Dalbec, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dalbec can't be recalled unless he's replacing an injured player, and Devers, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, and Gonzalez, who has a wrist issue, are the most obvious candidates. Cotillo writes that Gonzalez is seen as the likelier of the two players to go on the IL, but the club won't make a move until they see how each guy is feeling when they get to the ballpark Friday. Devers originally tweaked his left shoulder Opening Day and is expected to miss a second straight start Friday. Boston has seemed optimistic that he could avoid the IL, but it's possible it will opt to give him some down time.
