Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers said there was no reason for alarm even after he began the season 0-for-19 through Tuesday. He went 0-for-2 to start the Wednesday game at Baltimore, then hit a run-scoring double in the fifth inning and added a single in the eighth during Boston’s 3-0 win.

Abreu had a very strong three bWAR season as a rookie, which ended with a Gold Glove for his play in right field. He popped 15 home runs in 399 at-bats and was 8-for-11 on the bases. Unfortunately, his .180 BA against left-handers a year ago (61 at-bats) makes Abreu seem as the most likely guy to be platooned with Rob Refsnyder early in the season.
