Overview
- The Giants placed Rafael Devers on the 60-day injured list on Sept. 13, ending his 2026 season because of a core muscle injury the club says he had managed through most of the year.
- Devers is scheduled to be evaluated by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia and the team expects surgery could be recommended and scheduled within days if the doctor advises it.
- He finished the year with 37 home runs, 98 RBIs and an MLB-leading 36 doubles, including a late surge of 11 homers in his last 18 games while playing through the injury.
- San Francisco selected outfielder Scott Bandura from Triple-A Sacramento to fill Devers’ roster spot and the move creates immediate 40-man roster decisions with many players on the injured list.
- Devers is under a long-term contract through 2033, so his rehab timetable and any surgery will shape the Giants’ offseason planning and roster construction for 2027.
