José Devers: Breaking News

Confusion resolved

Devers did not retire as previously reported, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports. There was a previous report that Devers had retired, though that has since been corrected. He is rehabbing with Triple-A Gwinnett from an undisclosed injury and has maintained a .276/.279/.431 slash line across 61 plate appearances with Gwinnett this season.

Playing days over

Devers has decided to retire from baseball, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports. Devers briefly reached the majors with the Marlins in 2024, but he had spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Gwinnett. Only 25, the reason for Devers' decision is not known.

Bid for Opening Day roster ends

Atlanta reassigned Devers to minor-league camp Tuesday. Devers appeared in three big-league games for the Marlins in 2024, but he otherwise spent much of the season at the Triple-A level, slashing .228/.293/.360 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 209 plate appearances for Jacksonville. After falling short in his bid for winning a bench role on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, Devers is likely to spent most of the season with the organization's top affiliate in Gwinnett.
