Giants 1B Rafael Devers (Core) to Undergo Season-Ending Surgery
Devers had played through the injury most of the season, and the Giants said surgery is possible after he sees a specialist.
- On Sunday, the San Francisco Giants placed Rafael Devers on the 60-day injured list, officially ending his 2026 season due to a core muscle injury.
- Devers managed the core muscle issue throughout the year, choosing to play through the discomfort despite the Giants' elimination from postseason contention.
- The 29-year-old produced 37 home runs and 98 RBIs, power numbers that rank highest for a Giants player since Barry Bonds hit 45 home runs in 2004.
- Devers will meet Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia on Monday to evaluate if surgery is necessary; the Giants selected outfielder Scott Bandura from Triple-A Sacramento to replace him.
- This development will not impact Devers' availability for the 2027 season, with the Giants expecting him ready for full-squad workouts beginning mid-February.
