Red Sox general manager Craig Breslow approached Devers about playing first base, and Devers did not take it well.

Rafael Devers will not be replacing the injured Triston Casas at first after already making one position switch, and said as much emphatically to both the Red Sox front office and the media.

I don’t feel that they stayed true to their word," he said. "They told me that I was going to be playing this position, DH, and now they’re going back on that."
