He owned a far better. Dever's arm issue that he dealt with throughout the postseason was merely elbow inflammation and will not require surgery, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. While Devers was playing hurt throughout the postseason, you certainly couldn't tell from his numbers, as he hit. He appears set for a normal offseason and should be unaffected by spring training.
The toolsy outfielder was designated for assignment Thursday and cleared waivers over the weekend, allowing Boston to retain his rights. Unless he elects free agency or is granted his release later in the offseason, Cordero will join the Red Sox for spring training and compete for a bench role as a non-roster invitee. The year-old mashed at Worcester.
Eovaldi allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four in 4. Eovaldi was relatively effective at holding the Astros in check to begin Friday's matchup, with the only run he allowed coming via a double in the bottom of the first inning.
However, the Red Sox only mustered two hits during the game, forcing the right-hander to settle for the loss. The year-old made five appearances four starts during the postseason and recorded a 4.

He hadnt driven in a run in seven postseason games coming into the day. Bobby Dalbec immediately followed with a solo shot in the sixth. As it turned out, those were all the runs the Red Sox would get tonight.
Renfroes homer was his 31st and upped his RBI total to Thats quite a change from , when he hit 33 homers yet had just 64 RBI for the Padres. Plawecki has caught both Nathan Eovaldi starts this series, with Christian Vazquez handling the other four games.
The Red Sox also moved Hunter Renfroe -- who has one hit in the series -- down to the eight spot. Eovaldi did his part, with the only run coming because Enrique Hernandez dropped a long fly to center. The highlight was him striking out Kyle Tucker and Chas McCormick after giving up a single and double to start the fourth.
He wasnt quite at full strength after pitching in relief in Game 4, leading to the early exit, but he still wrapped up a stellar season in fine fashion. Sale allowed three hits, and he struck out seven with a pair of walks. He allowed a solo homer to Yordan Alvarez in the second innings, but settled down very nicely until the floodgates opened a bit in the sixth -- with very little help from his defense to close those gates.
The statline isnt perfect by any means, but this was a very positive sign for Sale going forward, as he showed the stuff that made him one of the best pitchers in baseball not long ago.
Unless the Red Sox win two straight games, however, his and Bostons season is over. Pivetta retired the first two batters of the game, but Alex Bregman then turned around a fastball and skied it just over the Green Monster for the first run. The right-hander got into some two-out trouble in the second inning, but he was able to escape that and then faced just one over the minimum over the next three frames.
Pivetta threw only 65 pitches in his five innings, but hes not totally stretched out right now and the Astros had in the order due up in the sixth, making manager Alex Coras move to the bullpen sensible. The first two relievers did their job, but Bostons pen melted down late. He had an up-and-down regular season, but Pivetta has come up huge in his last two postseason outings.
Chris Sale will take the ball in Game 5 for the Red Sox. The year-old was called on to relieve Chris Sale after a disastrous first inning that left the Red Sox in a hole early in the game.
