Fantasy Impact:
Devers' stance marks a shift from his comments in mid-February, when he expressed a strong preference to remain at third base. After discussions with manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, the 28-year-old now appears open to a DH role, with Alex Bregman likely to handle third base duties. Devers showed no issues at the plate Thursday, homering in a simulated game, and is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut Saturday.
