Devers Rested as Giants Aim for Sweep | San Francisco Giants News

Giants rest superstar Rafael Devers for the first time this season against the Cardinals, handing him a well-earned day off as they aim to sweep the series — even though he’s hitting better against righties. Bryce Eldridge takes over at first, Turner Hill steps in as DH, and Blade Tidwell starts on the mound. With playoff hopes dashed, the move makes sense: Devers has played every game since last season, logging 146 games while crushing the ball (.303 AVG, elite OPS vs. RHP) and joining elite Giants history with 35 homers and 35 doubles. He might still come off the bench later — smart baseball in a lost season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
