In a shocking development for Red Sox fans, third baseman Rafael Devers has been suspended from playing for the remainder of the 2025 MLB season amid sudden allegations, according to a statement released by the team late Monday.
Details surrounding the nature of the allegations have not yet been fully disclosed, but the Red Sox organization stated that the decision was made in coordination with Major League Baseball’s front office following an initial internal review. Devers, a key figure in Boston’s lineup and a fan favorite, has not yet commented publicly.
“We take these matters very seriously and are cooperating fully with the league’s ongoing investigation,” said Red Sox General Manager Craig Breslow. “While Rafael has the right to due process, we are committed to maintaining the integrity of the team and the sport.”
Devers, 28, was in the midst of another strong season, batting .295 with 18 home runs and 52 RBIs through 42 games. His sudden absence leaves a significant gap in the Red Sox’s infield and lineup as the team battles for position in the AL East.
Major League Baseball has not provided a timeline for the investigation’s conclusion but has confirmed Devers will be placed on administrative leave effective immediately.
More information is expected in the coming days as both the league and team continue their inquiries.
