Red Sox exclude injured Devers and Story from Mexico series

The Boston Red Sox have announced that injured players Rafael Devers and Trevor Story will not travel to Mexico for an exhibition series against the Monterrey Sultans. This decision comes despite recent progress in their spring training. Devers recently made his spring debut at designated hitter after recovering from shoulder issues. Story has been dealing with back tightness but is not considered seriously injured. Both players will have extra time to prepare for the regular season. The absence of Devers and Story is seen as a setback for the team, which had been assembling a strong roster for Opening Day.
