It truly seemed as if the dust had settled on any controversy surrounding Rafael Devers' position with the Boston Red Sox. This spring, the Red Sox acquired Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman and moved Devers to designated hitter.

Devers voiced his hesitance to become a full-time designated hitter, which sparked some preseason drama. And now that the Red Sox have lost first baseman Triston Casas to a season-ending injury, Devers’ refusal to speak to the media about potentially moving there has fueled the position drama even further.

With Triston Casas out for the season with a ruptured left patellar tendon, the Red Sox are deciding how to proceed at first base.
