Plan B! Red Sox would use Rafael Devers in this position after COVID19 crisis

In case something is missing, Boston Red Sox is in an internal crisis as a result of a coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) within the team and that has affected multiple players with positive cases. This has made the Red Sox have to draw ‘aces up their sleeves’ to cover their line up and it was teciently made known that consider using Rafael Devers as a short stop during some matches of the 2021 Season from MLB.

Boston Red Sox is getting creative to select techniques and players who can replace those who are infected with coronavirus (COVID-19), especially in the team’s infield.

That is why Alex Cora, manager of the Red Sox, declared that Rafael Devers could be used as a shortstop, without this being his ‘natural’ position as he usually covers third base.

“I’ve seen him take grooves at shortstop. He usually does it anyway because he plays change there. One thing I struggle with is if something happens in a double play or he makes a bad move, he gets injured,” said the helmsman to media like WEEI.

Rafael Devers has seen action in 130 games in the 2021 MLB Season with the Boston Red Sox of which 126 have been covering third base and only four times as a designated hitter.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as the coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social media, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
