Devers said Red Sox management approached him about filling in at first base in the wake of Triston Casas' season-ending injury.

The Boston Red Sox have reportedly approached Devers about moving back to being a field player after turning him into a full-time designated hitter this season. Devers previously played third base and moved off the position when Boston acquired Alex Bregman this offseason.

After a horrendous slump to start the season, going hitless in the team's first five games, Devers has turned it around as of late. He hit .267 with five home runs and 18 RBI last month, and is batting .400 to begin the month of May. The 28-year-old was two-for-three with a home run and 2 RBI in Boston's 5-0 win over the Texas Rangers on Thursday.
