Red Sox's Rafael Devers Avoids Shoulder Surgery, Eyes Spring Training Return

The All-Star third baseman will rest and rehab his shoulders, aiming to be at full strength for the 2025 season.

Rafael Devers will not require surgery for his shoulder issues, which have plagued him since spring training.
An MRI revealed inflammation but no structural damage in Devers' left shoulder, which has been the main source of his discomfort.
Devers was placed on the 10-day injured list, effectively ending his season with a week remaining in the regular schedule.
Despite his injuries, Devers managed to play 138 games this season, batting .272 with 28 home runs and 83 RBIs.
He will begin a rehab program in the Dominican Republic during the offseason, with the goal of being fully recovered by spring training.
