The best news for the Giants is that Devers was smiling through it. He didn't look frustrated by being handed this new task. He looked like he appreciated the challenge. As long as he keeps smiling and keeps making most of the plays over there when called upon, his bat will do the rest of the talking.

When the San Francisco Giants acquired Rafael Devers in the shocking blockbuster from the Boston Red Sox, a subplot of that story was the slugger's reported willingness to play first base, something that caused issues with his former team when he wouldn't move there.

ATLANTA (AP) — Rafael Devers was in the lineup at first base for the San Francisco Giants at Atlanta on Tuesday night, the slugger’s first start at the position that he refused to play for his prior team, the Boston Red Sox.
