Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The left-handed slugger was held out of Monday's game as well due to calf tightness. The team hasn't placed him on the injured list, so it appears the organization is hopeful this is only […]
