Red Sox manager Alex Cora was ejected in the first inning of an 8-1 victory against Minnesota in the opening game of a split doubleheader Sunday at Fenway Park. Cora became irate after the umpiring crew came together and decided to allow Byron Buxton to advance to third on an interference call at second on a pickoff attempt.

The Twins will hand the ball to righthander Pablo López, who has been lights out over his last few starts. López is 4-0 with a 1.11 ERA over his last six outings, with 38 strikeouts and eight walks over 40 ⅔ innings.

Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers said Sunday that he won’t need surgery and expects to be ready for spring training, a day after he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation.

Rafael Devers will avoid surgery on his left shoulder, manager Alex Cora said Sunday morning ahead of the Sox’ split doubleheader against the Twins. Devers underwent an MRI on his left shoulder, which revealed inflammation. His right shoulder has also been bothering him, but the left has caused the most issues.
