The Devers family will be well-represented at Fenway Park this weekend.

Obviously, Rafael Devers will be manning third base for the Red Sox during their three-game set with the Marlins. The newcomer to the Boston-baseball-playing world will be Rafael's cousin, Jose Devers, who is a 21-year-old middle infielder for Miami.

Jose was originally signed out of the Dominican Republic for $250,000 by the Yankees, but ultimately landed with Miami in the trade that sent Giancarlo Stanton to New York.

His major league debut came on April 24, with Devers playing both second base and shortstop for the Marlins. In 11 appearances he is hitting .250 with a .560 OPS.

Entering the 2021 season, Devers was ranked as the Marlins' No. 8 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline. He entered the year as the youngest player on the Miami 40-man roster.

Unlike his cousin, Jose will never be known for his power, having totaled just one home run as a professional. Like Rafael, however, he does hit from the left side.
