There was a moment in Sunday\u2019s game against the New York Yankees where Rafael Devers appeared to not run out a slow ground ball. Had he sprinted it looked as if he could have beaten the throw, which would have extended what was already a five-run seventh inning and reloaded the bases.<\/p>\n

Asked about the play on Monday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said it wasn\u2019t an issue of not hustling, implying that the slugger is battling an unspecified minor injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t about hustling, we\u2019ll leave it at that,\u201d Cora said. \u201cHe\u2019s playing every day, obviously he\u2019s the DH and there are certain things, nothing major, but stuff we have to pay attention to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Devers has started all 68 of Boston\u2019s games this season and is tied for the MLB lead in games played. Following the groundout in question Devers remained in the game and hit a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning, his 14th of the season.<\/p>\n

Cora said Devers will continue to play every day, but acknowledged that the moment was the first time he was aware the three-time All-Star was dealing with some kind of issue, which he declined to elaborate on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked him, he\u2019s doing ok,\u201d Cora said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those where he\u2019ll do his thing in the training room, he keeps it very quiet because he wants to post, but talking to (head trainer Brandon Henry) nothing major, something we can actually handle and he\u2019ll be playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
