Quietly, Rafael Devers is having a half-decent season.
No, the batting average (.248) and on-base percentage (.291) aren't pretty, but the 21-year-old is slugging .441 so far this year and has piled up 14 homers and 47 RBIs in 82 games for Boston. And he may finally be heating up.
Since June 12th, Devers is hitting .301/.311/.575 with 5 bombs, 18 RBIs and 14 runs scored in 74 plate appearances. He went 5-for-5 in Saturday's game against the Yankees, including an opposite-field grand slam in the first inning.
GRAND SLAM Rafael Devers.

It seems as though the young man may be getting on track and is someone worth targeting for the second half, especially in dynasty/keeper leagues.
