SF 1st Baseman #16

Player Stats

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with a homer and three RBI on Friday evening, propelling the Giants to a 7-6 victory over the Angels in extra innings.

Devers gave the Giants their first lead in the home half of the first inning as he pummeled a 2-1 fastball from Grayson Rodriguez for a 362-foot (101.8-mph) two-run shot. He then strolled to the dish with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and punched a single into left field to send the Giants’ faithful into a frenzy. His overall slash line on the season has continued to tick up, now up to a respectable .244/.315/.476 to go along with 21 homers and 56 RBI in 438 plate appearances.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 and hit a three-run homer Monday in the Giants’ 5-0 shutout of the Reds.

The Giants, who just got swept by the Red Sox over the weekend, made 10 transactions today before their matchup against one of the NL’s best pitchers and then lost their starting pitcher to an injury in the third, but it ended up being a pretty good night. Devers’ homer was one of five extra-base hits the team had before knocking Chase Burns out in the fourth. He has three homers in eight games and 27 on the season.

Rafael Devers cranked his 26th home run of the season on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Giants past the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Devers received mixed reactions from the fans at Fenway Park, as there were plenty of cheers mixed in with a chorus of boos every time he strolled to the dish. He then slugged a 412-foot (107.1-mph EV) solo shot as he ambushed a first-pitch fastball from Sonny Gray in the fourth inning, pulling the Giants to within a run at 5-4. That would be as close as they would get. Devers finished the night 1-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting .245/.321/.475 with 26 homers and 70 RBI on the season.

Rafael Devers hit a three-run homer, but the Giants were blown out by the Rockies on Sunday.

Devers also hit a double. The homer was his 25th of the season in his first full year with the Giants, and it gave San Francisco a 5-4 lead. It wasn’t close to enough as the Rockies scored another nine in a blowout win. Devers now has 69 RBI on the season, and has an outside shot of reaching 100 for the fifth time in his career.

Rafael Devers went 1-for-4 and clobbered a two-run homer on Friday night, powering the Giants to a 5-2 victory over the visiting Tigers.

Devers gave the Giants an early lead that they would never relinquish with his 401-foot (100.0-mph EV) two-run blast to center off of Keider Montero in the home half of the first inning. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, the 29-year-old slugger is now slashing .248/.321/.478 with 24 homers and 68 RBI.

Rafael Devers went 3-for-4 with a sac fly against the Padres on Thursday.

The sac fly was hit 399 feet and would have been a homer if Fernando Tatis Jr. didn’t make a nice jumping catch. Devers also had a 102-mph lineout to center in the ninth tonight. Meanwhile, his three hits checked in at 93, 70 and 50 mph. The last of those was a successful bunt against a shifted infield.

Rafael Devers went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, and two runs scored to lead the Giants to a 9-2 win over the Angels on Saturday.

Devers put the Giants on the board with a base hit in the third inning to drive in a run. He then blew the game open with a three-run homer off Brent Suter. That’s back-to-back days with a home run for Devers, giving him seven in July and 22 on the season. The 29-year-old slugger is slashing .249/.319/.489 with 55 runs scored and 60 RBI across 442 plate appearances.

Rafael Devers went 0-for-4 and struck out three times against the Mariners on Sunday.

Devers lucked into a 339-foot homer on Saturday, but that was the only time he reached base in 14 at-bats against the Mariners, and he struck out three times in all three games of the series. It’s just the seventh time this year that a player has fanned three times in three straight games.

Rafael Devers went 3-for-3 with a homer, three RBI and an intentional walk Friday against the Rockies.

Devers drove in all of the Giants’ runs. His two singles were actually his hardest-hit balls of the game, leaving his bat at 109 and 107 mph. His homer was hit just 98 mph and would have made it out of 16 ballparks, according to Statcast. Devers is up to 19 homers and 52 RBI on the season.

Rafael Devers homered twice in a loss to the Rockies on Sunday.

Devers hit two of the Giants’ four homers, both off of Tanner Gordon. The 29-year-old slugger has now gone deep 18 times in 2026, and he’s driven 47 RBI over the first 89 games of the 2026 campaign. After a disastrous — at least per expectations — start to the season, Devers is starting to swing the bat at a level fantasy managers have grown accustomed to.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday against the Rockies.

Devers blasted a 432 foot moonshot as the Giants tried to make up a two touchdown deficit against the Rockies in Coors Field. They’d never get close to striking distance, but it’s nice to see that Devers has fully pulled the nose up on his season. Overall, he’s up to 16 home runs and a .775 OPS. Over the last 30 days, he’s hit nine of those home runs and has an .893 OPS. That looks much more like the Devers we know than who he was over the first chunk of the season.

Mariners optioned INF Leo Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma.

There’s no reason for Seattle to keep Rivas on the active roster with J.P. Crawford back from the injured list. The 28-year-old has hit .147 (17-for-116) with zero homers, nine RBI and two steals in 139 plate appearances this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Elmer Rodríguez is a candidate to start against the Astros on Wednesday.

Boone wouldn’t make it official, but all signs point to Rodríguez replacing an injured Ryan Weathers (forearm) in New York’s rotation, at least for one turn this week. The 23-year-old has struggled in a handful of opportunities at the highest level this season, but he remains one of the organization’s best starting pitching prospects. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats for now.

Roman Anthony (finger) told reporters there’s a chance he returns for Friday’s series opener against the Yankees.

Now that would be fun. Anthony is expected to wrap up a minor league rehab assignment with a couple games for Triple-A Worcester this week. The 22-year-old phenom possesses the talent to be a real difference-maker for the Red Sox over the final month of the season. Barring an unexpected development, it sounds like there’s a strong possibility Anthony is back later this week. He should be stashed in all fantasy leagues at this juncture.

Aaron Judge (rib) is scheduled to take batting practice on Tuesday.

Judge kicked off a hitting progression earlier this month as he works his way back from a rib fracture that put him on the shelf back in early June. It’s unclear exactly how much time he’ll need to get back up to speed before returning to New York’s lineup, but he doesn’t appear to be very far away at this point. It’s purely speculation, but it seems fair to assume he’ll make it back at some point in early-to-mid September.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Max Fried (elbow) is “in play” to start during Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Fried completed a four-inning live batting practice session on Monday and appears to be on the precipice of returning from the injured list. The 32-year-old ace unexpectedly hit the injured list with a bone bruise and inflammation in his elbow earlier this month. It sounds like there’s a strong possibility he’s back in New York’s rotation this weekend.

It’s an ultra-rare Adams-for-Adams (no relation) swap on Colorado’s active roster. The 26-year-old came over from the White Sox in the Brenton Doyle trade earlier this month. He’ll operate in low-leverage relief spots out of the Rockies’ bullpen.

Caleb Durbin is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Marlins.

It appears to be a routine day off for Durbin with Nick Sogard getting a look at third base. The Red Sox are going to have some hard decisions in the near future with both Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa close to returning from the injured list. That’s presumably why Sogard is getting the additional playing time in this case.
