Rafael Devers absent from Red Sox' lineup versus Blue Jays
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not starting on Monday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
What It Means:
It's likely just a breather for Devers, who is slashing .286/.349/.511 with 8 home runs, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored, and 3 steals in 35 games this season. Eduardo Nunez will man the hot corner for Boston while Xander Bogaerts draws the start at shortstop and bats sixth versus Blue Jays southpaw J.A. Happ.
numberFire's models project Devers to turn in a .280 batting average in 27 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
