US EditionRed Sox place Romy Gonzalez on IL, still don't plan to use Devers at first
- Following a left quad contusion sustained in a collision last Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox have placed Romy Gonzalez, their first baseman, on the 10-day injured list retroactive to May 8.
- This development occurred shortly after Triston Casas was sidelined for the season due to a major tendon injury in his left knee, leading to speculation that Rafael Devers might move to first base.
- Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed the team will continue relying on Gonzalez, Abraham Toro, and newly recalled Nick Sogard, who will split playing time until Gonzalez returns around May 18.
- Gonzalez was hitting.308 with six doubles in 17 games before injury, while Sogard, a versatile switch-hitter with experience across infield and outfield, hit.188 in Triple-A this season.
- Cora emphasized this injury as short-term and ruled out moving Devers to first base for now, indicating the club will explore alternatives to maintain stability at first base.
