Rafael Devers will not be replacing the injured Triston Casas at first after already making one position switch, and said as much emphatically to both the Red Sox front office and the media.

Speaking with reporters for the first time since Triston Casas was ruled out for the season after rupturing his left knee tendon and undergoing surgery, Devers said on Thursday that Red Sox management approached him about the idea of filling in as Boston’s first baseman.

The Rafael Devers saga continues for the Boston Red Sox. Devers was slotted into a designated hitter role for the superior defender Alex Bregman, which ruffled his feathers and perhaps explains his recent attitude.
