Rafael Devers Hitting Cleanup For Boston
2 years agoBoston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is starting at the hot corner and batting cleanup for the team on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Shane Bieber. Meanwhile, outfielder Masataka Yoshida is starting in left field and batting in the two-hole for the BoSox. Devers and Yoshida are basically flip-flopping to begin the weekend series. The 26-year-old Devers is a must-start for fantasy managers every day he's playing, but he's been a bit of a disappointment with a .238 average (24-for-101), but he also has seven doubles, a league-leading nine home runs, 24 RBI and 18 runs scored in his first 25 games played. Devers will have more chances to drive in runs on Friday, but the matchup is a difficult one against Bieber.
