Overview

• Since June 15 he has appeared in 20 games as designated hitter without logging a defensive inning at first base.
• Broadcaster Will Flemming and Giants legend Will Clark reported that Devers stood them up for early first-base workouts during a recent series against his former team.
• Photographs and team statements on July 9 showed him resuming pregame grounders at first base as the organization attributes earlier absences to managing nagging back and groin discomfort.
• Devers is hitting .240/.348/.387 with two homers and nine RBIs for San Francisco, a decline from his Boston slash line but he insists his swing remains unaffected.
• With eight years and over $250 million remaining on his contract, the Giants emphasize his smooth positional transition is key to bolstering their defense and lineup depth.
