'Probably this is it for him': Alex Cora expecting Red Sox to play out 2024 without Rafael Devers After battling through a shoulder injury all season long, Rafael Devers is set to miss Boston's final eight games of the season.

SEPTEMBER 21 • BOSTON.COM

Rafael Devers - Likely done for season Manager Alex Cora said that Devers injured his right shoulder Friday and will most likely be shut down for the remainder of the season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Cora added that Devers suffered the injury while taking swings in the cages right before Friday's game versus Minnesota, per Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Despite his bad shoulder, the 27-year-old still played Friday, going 1-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts before being replaced in the infield by Vaughn Grissom in the 11th inning. Devers is slated to receive an MRI on Saturday, though it seems he won't play another game in 2024 no matter what the results of the test are. He'll finish the season with a .272/.354/.516 slash line alongside 28 home runs and 83 RBI, and Nick Sogard will presumably take over as Boston's primary third baseman for the final eight games of the season.

Liam Hendriks - Unlikely to play this season Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Hendriks (elbow) is likely to be shut down for the rest of the regular season, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Hendriks has been on the shelf all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery from last August. He began a rehab assignment in mid-August, and it looked like the 35-year-old reliever was poised to join the Red Sox bullpen in early September until he suffered a setback. There was still some hope that he would be able to play after receiving a cortisone injection in his right elbow Monday, but Cora relayed Friday that Hendriks hasn't played catch since getting the shot. With just nine games left in the regular season, it appears Hendriks will have to wait until 2025 to work in relief in a Red Sox uniform.

Vaughn Grissom - Recalled from Worcester The Red Sox recalled Grissom from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Impact Grissom will take the spot on the 28-man roster vacated by Rob Refsnyder, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right forearm strain. Since being optioned to Worcester on Aug. 8 after being reinstated from the IL, Grissom has slashed .269/.407/.417 with five home runs and 24 RBI across 137 minor-league plate appearances. In the majors, he's slashing .148/.207/.160 with three RBI over 87 plate appearances.

Rob Refsnyder - Lands on injured list The Red Sox placed Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Refsnyder hasn't started a game since wrist discomfort caused him to be a late scratch from the lineup Sept. 12, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter during Thursday's loss to Tampa Bay. Now, the 33-year-old outfielder will officially land on the injured list, putting an early end to his 2024 campaign. He'll conclude the season with a solid .283/.359/.471 slash line alongside 11 homers and 40 RBI across 306 plate appearances, and Vaughn Grissom will come up from the minors to fill his spot on the active roster.

Masataka Yoshida - Sitting against righty Yoshida is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

Impact The Twins are starting a right-hander in David Festa, but the left-handed-hitting Yoshida will nonetheless begin this one on the bench. After an excellent July and August, Yoshida is slashing just .231/.286/.365 so far in September. Tyler O'Neill will be Boston's designated hitter Friday.
