Devers also managed to swipe a base and walked twice, contributing significantly without needing a multitude of hits. This performance underscores his ability to impact the game in multiple facets, which is a boon for fantasy managers looking for well-rounded contributors. His season stats, including a solid .278 average and 28 homers, make him a consistent threat in fantasy lineups. The additional stolen base, a rare feat for Devers, is a nice bonus, though not something managers should count on regularly. His ability to drive in runs and score consistently keeps his fantasy stock high as the season progresses.

Rafael Devers went 1-for-3 with a walk in the Red Sox's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Despite reaching base twice, Devers couldn't spark enough offense to secure a win for Boston. This season, Devers has maintained a solid .277 average with notable power, slugging 28 homers and driving in 81 runs over 132 games. His consistent ability to get on base, evidenced by his .368 wOBA, remains a strong point for fantasy managers. However, his limited impact in key situations, as seen in this game, may raise concerns about his reliability as a fantasy cornerstone in critical matchups. Moving forward, Devers will need to capitalize on opportunities to enhance his fantasy value and reassure his managers of his clutch capabilities.
