Rafael Devers

SF 1st Baseman #16

Player Stats

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 went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, and five RBI on Friday against the Mets.

Devers is scalding hot right now. Two more doubles here give him 34 on the season – tied for most in the league – and this home run was his 33rd. It was a towering blast too traveling deep into the upper deck in right field. Shame on anybody who thought he wouldn’t be a highly productive player any more as he now has an .846 OPS that has risen sharply over the past few weeks.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-3 with his 32nd homer and two walks in the Giants’ 5-4 win over the Pirates on Wednesday.

Devers’ homer tonight was hit 415 feet to center. He has eight RBI in his last four games, greatly improving his chances of getting to 100 for the fifth time in his career. He’s 16 away with 22 games left.

Rafael Devers clobbered his 30th home run of the season on Monday, propelling the Giants to a 7-3 win over the Braves.

Devers took Braves starter Bryce Elder deep in the opening frame for his eighth round-tripper since the start of August, reaching the lofty 30-homer plateau for the second straight season and fifth time since 2019. He also walked twice in this contest. The 29-year-old slugger is one of the few legitimate threats in an injury-depleted Giants lineup and it wouldn’t be shocking to see more teams pitch around him during the final month of the season. He has a real shot at surpassing his previous career-high mark of 38 round-trippers, which he set with the Red Sox back in 2021.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, and two RBI as the Giants fell to the Reds 10-9 on Wednesday.

Devers’ homer came on a hanging breaking ball from Nick Lodolo, which he promptly deposited into McCovey Cove. It marked the third straight contest in which he homered, giving him 29 on the year. He has once again rebounded after a concerningly slow start to the season. Devers is now one homer away from becoming the second Giant since 2005 to connect for 30. Willy Adames accomplished that feat on the final day of the 2025 regular season.

Rafael Devers went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored, and a walk to lead the Giants to a 3-1 win over the Reds on Tuesday.

Devers drew a walk and scored a run in the first inning, then later extended the Giants’ lead with a solo homer off Brady Singer in the fifth. It was his third home run in his last five games. The 29-year-old first baseman is slashing .244/.322/.480 with 28 homers, 73 runs scored, and 74 RBI across 559 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 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.

Shohei Othani (knee, biceps) remains out of the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Nationals.

It’s the third straight game that Ohtani has missed due to lingering knee and biceps issues. The Dodgers are reportedly still weighing whether or not the 32-year-old superstar will require a trip to the injured list. Dalton Rushing will function as the team’s designated hitter on Saturday and will bat seventh against Nationals’ right-hander Cade Cavalli.

Rays placed LHP Garrett Cleavinger on the 15-day injured list with left forearm tightness.

No word yet on how long the 32-year-old southpaw will be shelved so, but with the regular season winding down, he may not have enough time to make it back before the playoffs begin. Ty Johnson was promoted from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move to take his place in the Rays’ bullpen.

Rays selected the contract of RHP Ty Johnson from Triple-A Durham.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 24-year-old hurler. Johnson was having a very strong season at Triple-A Durham, registering a 3.03 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and an 84/25 K/BB ratio across 62 1/3 innings in his 21 appearances (10 starts). He’ll give Kevin Cash another weapon to deploy in the middle innings.

Rays designated INF Oliver Dunn for assignment.

The Rays needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the arrival of Ty Johnson on Saturday and unfortunately Dunn drew the short straw this time. There’s a decent chance he slides through waivers unclaimed and continues to function as extra infield depth for the Rays.

Walker Jenkins is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Saturday evening’s skirmish against the White Sox.

It’s unclear if Jenkins is sitting just because the Twins are facing a left-hander, or if they just wanted to give the 21-year-old outfielder a breather after starting in seven straight games. He has struggled at the dish thus far, slashing .130/.286/.304 with one homer, three RBI, one stolen base and a 6/5 K/BB ratio over 28 plate appearances to begin his MLB career.

The dynamic 29-year-old outfielder started and hit in the middle of the Orioles’ lineup in each of his first three games since coming over from the Mets. He’ll get a breather here though before likely returning for Sunday’s series finale. Colton Cowser will start in his place in center field and bat ninth against Red Sox’ right-hander Sonny Gray.
