Red Sox All-Star Rafael Devers Out for Season with Shoulder Injury

The Boston third baseman has been placed on the injured list, ending his season as the team faces slim playoff hopes.

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.
