Devers was named the AL Player of the Month for May, Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reports.
Devers batted .351 with seven doubles, eight home runs, six walks and 24 RBI during May. While these awards recognize a player's achievements at the plate, it's worth noting Devers has also showed vast improvement in the field. He last made an error May 2 and has handled 68 subsequent chances cleanly. That's especially encouraging, considering manager Alex Cora has previously noted Devers' penchant for turning in spectacular plays while occasionally struggling with the more routine opportunities at the hot corner. "He's been great - you know what, I'm prouder with the way he's played defensively," Cora said of Devers. "Defensively, I think he's been outstanding. We've made some adjustments with positioning, where to catch the ball, routine-wise. We see it on a daily basis."
