Daily Red Sox Links: Bobby Dalbec, Rafael Devers, Alex Cora

The Red Sox have been trying to find the right combination at the bottom of their lineup all year, and now Bobby Dalbec has seen his playing time start to dwindle a bit. He has to figure out how to get back on track while also adjusting to this new sporadic playing time. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Rafael Devers isn’t going to see any reduction in his playing time, but he has certainly started to see pitchers adjust to him with the way they are throwing against the star hitter. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

At the top of the lineup, the Red Sox continue to get little from the leadoff spot. Despite that fact, Alex Cora is not taking Kiké Hernández from that spot in the lineup. (Steve Hewitt; Boston Herald)

If you enjoy watching Nick Pivetta on the mound, you’re not alone. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

We enjoy watching Chris Sale pitch as well, and he’s inching his way back to doing so. (Chris Cotillo; Masslive)

This is the case for everyone, but especially the Red Sox: They need their stars to perform. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)
