Several players who were scheduled to play on February 27 in Arizona did not. Rafael Devers was removed just before the Giants’ scheduled contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Corey Seager was scratched thanks to an illness.

Devers scratched

The Giants scratched Rafael Devers late on February 27. Devers was scheduled to bat second and play first base for San Francisco. Instead, it was prospect Bryce Eldridge who drew in against the Dodgers.

Per reports, it was due to a tight hamstring.

It would have been Devers’ fourth game of the spring had he played. The Giants’ first baseman/designated hitter is 0-8 in Cactus League action with four strikeouts.

Seager dealing with illness

Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was also scratched from the team’s game against the Chicago White Sox. Seager is dealing with an illness.

The veteran shortstop went 1-7 thus far in limited action this spring.
