Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers said Sunday that he won’t need surgery and expects to be ready for spring training, a day after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation.

Rafael Devers will avoid surgery on his left shoulder, manager Alex Cora said Sunday morning ahead of the Sox’ split doubleheader against the Twins. Devers underwent an MRI on his left shoulder, which revealed inflammation.

Rafael Devers was placed on the 10-day IL with shoulder inflammation, likely ending the Red Sox third baseman's season.

The Twins will hand the ball to righthander Pablo López, who has been lights out over his last few starts. López is 4-0 with a 1.11 ERA over his last six outings, with 38 strikeouts and eight walks over 40 ⅔ innings.

Beyond marking a first in his own baseball career, Casas is now the first Red Sox player to hit three homers in a game since Trevor Story on May 19, 2022. It also marked a sizable turnaround from his last game on Friday, when Casas went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts.
