Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers captured another honor for his strong 2021 campaign Tuesday, as the 25-year-old was named to the All-MLB Second Team.

In action for 156 games this past season, Devers mashed a career-high 38 home runs, and his 113 RBIs were the second-highest single-season total of his five-year MLB career. Devers also hit .279 and  his .890 OPS was his best since a .916 in 2019.

The Second Team honors are Devers’ third accolade of the 2021 campaign, as he also won Silver Slugger honors and was a starter in the 2021 MLB All-Star Game.

The Braves’ Austin Riley captured All-MLB First Team honors at third base.
