Devers went 2-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Yankees.
Devers singled in the first inning and collected his first extra-base hit of the season with a double in the sixth. The veteran slugger made his third straight start at designated hitter, and manager Tony Vitello said Friday that Devers has yet to play the field due to lingering left hamstring tightness, according to John Shea of The San Francisco Standard. As a result, Casey Schmitt has started at first base in three consecutive contests.

Giants' Rafael Devers: Lingering hamstring tightness
Rotowire
Giants manager Tony Vitello said Friday that Devers has started at designated hitter in the first two games of the season in part because of lingering tightness in his left hamstring, John Shea of The San Francisco Standard reports.
Devers first tweaked his hamstring in late February, and Vitello said there's "still little bit of a feeling in there." The skipper noted that Devers is capable of handling first base, if necessary, but it sounds like the club could keep him in the DH slot for a bit longer as a precaution. Casey Schmitt has started at first base in each of the Giants' first two contests.

Giants' Rafael Devers: Almost ready for game action
Rotowire

Devers has been dealing with hamstring tightness since late February and had been shut down from all baseball activities for a few days. The 29-year-old is on the brink of being cleared for game action, but it's uncertain exactly when he'll be back in the Giants' lineup. Regardless, it looks like Devers will have plenty of time to get into the swing of things before Opening Day.
