Even if it is the "least demanding position" on the field, it's not as simple as it sounds as indicated by the quotes in the article from the Red Sox manager, Alex Cora.
I assume all of the position players take daily defensive reps at their position before games, and additional defensive reps on non-game days. Does DH Devers take reps at 3B in case of a Bregman injury? Or is he DH-only the entire season?
