Rafael Devers has repeatedly — and oftentimes quite colorfully, by the way — declined comment when approached at his locker in the visitors clubhouse at Kauffman Stadium. His bat, though, is doing the talking.

The Boston Red Sox put first baseman Romy Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list with a left-quad contusion, retroactive to May 8.

The Red Sox could have communicated with their star player better, but Devers could also be more accommodating of the team's needs.
