The Boston Red Sox will take to the field for their Sunday Night Baseball showdown against the New York Yankees without their All-Star third baseman. The Red Sox submitted their lineup card without Rafael Devers, the second of three games that the Silver Slugger is expected to miss after suffering a back injury on Friday.

On Saturday, Devers was voted in as the starting third baseman for the American League in the MLB All-Star Game. It’s Devers’s second straight appearance in the mid-summer classic after he was named as a starter in last year’s contest. 

The Red Sox third baseman leads the league with 106 hits, churning 59 runs and knocking in 51. Moreover, his .977 on-base plus slugging percentage is the best mark of his career.

Bobby Dalbec is filling in for Devers again tonight after going 1-for-3 on Saturday.

The Red Sox can salvage a split of the four-game series against the MLB leaders with a win on Sunday; however, the odds are stacked against them. Boston enters the series finale as +118 underdogs, per the line info from FanDuel Sportsbook.
