Overview

• Rafael Devers has been dealing with shoulder inflammation and soreness since July, significantly affecting his performance.
• Devers was placed on the 10-day injured list after undergoing MRIs on both shoulders, confirming the severity of his condition.
• The Red Sox have recalled infielder Mickey Gasper from Triple-A Worcester to fill Devers' spot on the roster.
• In 138 games this season, Devers batted .272 with 28 home runs and 83 RBIs, but his performance declined sharply in recent months.
• With the Red Sox five games out of the wildcard spot and only eight games remaining, their playoff chances are very slim without Devers.
