Fantasy Impact:

Devers, eased back from shoulder issues, slots in as Boston’s likely Opening Day DH, accepting the role Thursday after resisting a shift from third. Alex Bregman takes the hot corner, freeing Devers to focus on hitting. Fantasy managers can bank on his bat delivering elite production without defensive wear.
