Daily Red Sox Links: Brian Johnson, Rafael Devers, Jackie Bradley Jr.
The Red Sox have been great against just about everyone this season, but their pure domination of the American League East has put them on track for being one of the greatest regular season teams of all time. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe) In the latest win over an AL East opponent, Brian Johnson played a role. Alex Cora certainly won’t undersell the lefty’s role on the team. (Bill Koch; Providence Journal) Evan Drellich takes a look at how the Red Sox could shape their postseason pitching staff. (Evan Drellich; NBC Sports Boston) Some are wondering if Rafael Devers’ hamstring issues are...

Red Sox notebook: Rafael Devers lands back on the disabled list
The baseball gods have looked kindly upon the Red Sox this season.Yesterday, they got a little wishy-washy.The Sox activated second baseman Ian Kinsler (hamstring) from the disabled list, but then placed third baseman Rafael Devers back on the DL with a re-aggravation of his left hamstring injury.Devers went on the shelf on July 29 and returned Aug. 8 when the Sox were in Toronto. He played in one game vs. the Blue Jays, 3-of-4 in Baltimore and both games in Philadelphia.Manager Alex Cora all but conceded that when Devers said he felt good enough to come off the DL, he was not being 100...

Red Sox activate Ian Kinsler, place Rafael Devers on 10-day disabled list
Part expected, part surprise It was a good news/bad news type of day at Fenway on Friday. As expected, they activated Ian Kinsler off the disabled list. This was obviously good news, as he was acquired to be their everyday second baseman but hasn’t been able to fill that role due to injury. He went down with a hamstring injury during the second game of the Yankees series, but will be back in action at Fenway Friday night. The expectation was that a pitcher — likely Hector Velazquez — would be optioned to make room for the second baseman since the team has been playing with a short...

Rafael Devers and the challenges of developing on a contender
It’s a weird spot for the young third baseman I think one of the worst parts about the baseball season is that, with its everyday nature, the amazing becomes routine. The Red Sox offense is straight-up bananas, but it’s so easy to take that fact for granted because we see it every day. The expectation is for them to put up a whole bunch of runs every night, and while that’s a fair expectation it also makes it easy to forget that this group has been pretty much perfect this year. Sure, it hasn’t always been balanced and the bottom of the lineup has gone through rough stretches in...

Blake Swihart activated from disabled list
Dan Butler gets designated for assignment For as well as the Red Sox are playing lately, and really all year, they have been missing some of their complimentary pieces. Now, other than Chris Sale for a short time they have been with most of their key stars all year, but lately they have missed their secondary players on the roster. Well, they are starting to come back now. Sale was back on the mound this past Sunday. Rafael Devers rejoined the team before that. Ian Kinsler is working his way back and shouldn’t be too far off. On Tuesday, as the Red Sox get set to start a short two-game...

Rafael Devers is the boyish face of baseball’s trend of youth over experience
"Carita" is the face of one of baseball's new trends: Prioritization of youth. Devers is the 13th player this decade to appear in more than 150 games before his 22nd birthday, the most since the 1970s (20).
