Rafael Devers’ season is over and Giants star may have surgery for core muscle injury
San Francisco Giants star Rafael Devers' season concluded abruptly due to a potential core muscle injury. The Giants officially placed Devers on the 60-day injured list, signifying the end of his 2023 campaign. Despite leading the team with 37 home runs and 98 RBIs, Devers was forced to sit out as he battled the injury.
Devers, who is entering the third season of a $313.5 million, 10-year contract, was acquired from Boston in June 2025. His season took a turn for the worse in April, and since then, he has managed to raise his batting average to .258. Devers has a career .274 average and 272 home runs in 10 major league seasons.
The Giants' decision came after Devers met with Dr. William Meyers on Monday. If a surgical procedure is deemed necessary, it is expected that Devers would undergo the operation on Tuesday. The team has also placed outfielder Scott Bandura from Triple-A Sacramento on a contract extension.
