Overview
- Devers was pulled from the lineup about an hour before first pitch against the Dodgers after feeling tightness during pregame infield work.
- Manager Tony Vitello said the decision was precautionary and that Devers, who is off Saturday, could play again as soon as Sunday versus the Padres.
- Center fielder Harrison Bader exited after the first inning with a right thumb contusion and is considered day to day.
- Devers has started spring training 0-for-8 across three games with one walk and one RBI.
- San Francisco has used Devers mostly at designated hitter with some first base, and prospect Bryce Eldridge’s availability at first could further limit his defensive workload, according to reporting.
