Slugs second homer Devers went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Devers had plenty of opportunity for production, coming to bat with runners on first and third and one out in the third inning, but he failed to produce. He made up for that in his next at-bat, driving a Matt Shoemaker offering out to the deepest part of Fenway Park for his second home run of the season. Production hasn't come easily to Devers through 62 plate appearances, as he's hitting just .175/.252/.351.

Bats second in exhibition Martinez batted second in the order during Tuesday's exhibition game against the Blue Jays, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact This was a surprise maneuver by Boston manager Ron Roenicke, who a day earlier had tagged Rafael Devers as the team's likely No. 2 hitter. But the manager is apparently reconsidering deploying two lefties in a row at the top of the order. "The reason being simply because we have [Andrew] Benintendi followed with Devers and we know that gives the opponent the opportunity to bring in a left-hander against them, and this breaks it up and makes it tough now," Roenicke said. Martinez, who has batted third or fourth since joining Boston, stepped in behind left-handed-hitting leadoff batter Andrew Benintendi against Toronto right-hander Nate Pearson. It's unclear if Martinez will occupy the two-hole every game or only when a lefty hitter is leading off, but the move is in line with a trend of having a team's most dangerous hitter batting second. "This is something that I don't know for a fact, but this is something that the analytics people tell me," said Roenicke. "For whatever reason, the second spot in your lineup is the most important spot in your lineup."

Likely batting second Devers is expected to bat second in the order, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact Devers developed into a dangerous hitter in 2019 when then-manger Alex Cora moved him to the two hole. Devers slashed .334/.379/.653 with 19 homers and 63 RBIs in 335 plate appearances when batting second. Current manager Ron Roenicke is expected to have Andrew Benintendi bat leadoff, followed by Devers. It's not the most conventional lineup to have two left-handers at the top, but the manager is mulling over using that duo in Friday's opener against Baltimore left-hander John Means.
