Strikeouts piling up
Devers went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.
Analysis
Devers' first two games in a new role as the designated hitter have not been pretty. He's 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts (six swinging). While some may conclude the adjustment from playing the field to being a batter only has impacted Devers, Red Sox manager Alex Cora summed it up quite succinctly to Ian Browne of MLB.com. "Not catching up with the fastball," Cora said. "It's very simple. [He's getting] 3-2 counts. The at-bats are OK, but not being able to cash in." Devers didn't disagree with the manager. He dealt with injuries to both shoulders during spring training, which delayed his Grapefruit League debut until March 15, had finished the spring with just 15 plate appearances. That also could be an issue, although Devers said he did the necessary work on his swing on the back fields.

Rough opener
Devers started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Thursday's 5-2 win over Texas.
Analysis
Devers, who had just 15 spring plate appearances, looked like he could have used more in Florida. He struck out swinging three times and whiffed six times in all, including five times against Nathan Eovaldi's breaking ball, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. To be fair, Devers wasn't the only one that struggled; Boston's top four hitters went a combined 1-for-16.

Officially named DH by Cora
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday on the WEEI Sports Radio Network that Devers will be the team's designated hitter this season.
Analysis
It's been clear for a while that Devers was going to be the DH, but this is the first time Cora has officially made the declaration. Alex Bregman will man Devers' former position at third base. Devers has never been a full-time DH before, and some players can have trouble adjusting to the role, but the 28-year-old is a good bet to remain highly productive with the bat as long as the shoulder problems he dealt with last season don't flare up again.
