Make no mistake: The San Francisco Giants need Rafael Devers. Even if the first baseman has struggled to start the season. While it's been a rough go of it thus far in 2026 for the beleaguered batter, Devers says he is remaining confident at the plate and trusting his swing.

That's a lot for a fellow who didn't appear to be as advertised.
