Rafael Devers is the Boston Red Sox's designated hitter.

And he's not interested in another position switch.

Speaking with reporters for the first time since Triston Casas was ruled out for the season after rupturing his left knee tendon and undergoing surgery, Devers said on Thursday that Red Sox management approached him about the idea of filling in as Boston's first baseman.

The three-time All-Star doesn't see it in his best interest to make another position switch after being asked to move from third base to DH during spring training after the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to play third.

"They came to me and talked to me about it," Devers said after homering and driving in two in Boston's 5-0 win over Texas.
