The Boston Red Sox's third baseman gutted it out with two shoulder injuries as long as he could, but that came to an end on Friday night.
The Boston Red Sox needed a huge final month from their superstar third baseman to have any chance at the playoffs. Unfortunately, his health simply wouldn't cooperate.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox cratered in the standings. From two games up in the Wild Card race at the All-Star break, they fell five games back with a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins in 12 innings on Friday night. They're two games under .500 for the first time since May 13, and the season is officially toast.
Now that the Red Sox's goose is well and truly cooked, it made no sense for their star third baseman to keep gutting it out. So it was no surprise when manager Alex Cora indicated"No, he's not, no, no, no," Cora said, when asked postgame if Devers was okay. "You saw him throwing today, it was bothering him, when he hit inside, he felt it... so he's gonna get an MRI tomorrow, see where we're at, and probably, this is it for him.
