Scouting Report: Luis Devers
Chicago Cubs | SP
Overall
Summary
Rafael Devers, 29-year-old San Francisco Giants DH/1B, has had a disappointing 2026 season after being acquired mid-season in 2025. Through early May 2026, he was batting .221-.232 with 4 HRs, 12-16 RBIs, and a sub-.600 OPS, performing 21% worse than league average. However, recent signs of resurgence have emerged: over his last 7-11 games, he's hitting .350-.361 with 7 extra-base hits, 2 HRs, and a 1.141 OPS. Notable performance vs. Dodgers (May 11): 2-for-3 with 2 walks, 2 RBIs, 3 runs. The Giants (16-24 record) are struggling as a team, and Devers' poor start has been blamed for contributing to their offensive woes. Questions remain about whether his struggles reflect a prolonged adjustment period or a decline in ability. He's signed through 2033 on a 10-year extension signed in 2023.
Strengths
- Recent hot streak over last 7-11 games (.350-.361 BA, 7 XBH)
- Strong performance vs. defending champion Dodgers (2-for-3, 2 walks, 2 RBIs, 3 runs)
