Rafael Devers had a glove on Tuesday as he made his debut at first base during the San Francisco Giants' second game of a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves.

Playing defense was largely a surprise, considering Devers was adamant about his desire to exclusively handle designated hitter duties when he was with his prior team, the Boston Red Sox. But, Devers' comments after the game were perhaps even more surprising.

Devers said he actually prefers playing defense over exclusively picking up a bat during MLB games.

"It keeps me active. It keeps my head out of just thinking about the next at-bat," Devers said according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I’d rather be on the field than in the cage hitting all the time and thinking about the next at-bat."

Rafael Devers had a tense spring training. During the exhibition period, Red Sox manager Alex Cora and Devers appeared to be at odds about whether he would spend time on the baseball diamond covering third base.

Shortly before Opening Day, Cora confirmed Devers would handle the team's designated hitter duties on a full-time basis. However, when Boston's primary first baseman Triston Casas suffered a serious injury, it prompted another proposal from the Red Sox brass. 

Former Red Sox pitcher and the franchise's current chief baseball officer, Craig Breslow, brought up the idea of Devers covering first base in the future, the New York Post reported in May. However, the three-time MLB All-Star reportedly shut down the idea.

During his public rebuttal of the potential position change, Devers cited the Red Sox' previous instructions related to him using his glove.

"I know I’m a ballplayer, but at the same time, they can’t expect me to play every single position out there," Devers said via a translator, the Boston Globe reported in May. "In spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove, that I wasn't going to play any other position but DH."

Devers had two base hits during his first base debut with San Francisco. The Giants ultimately celebrated a 9-0 victory over the Braves on Tuesday. The Giants also won Wednesday's game against Atlanta to win the three-game series.

A 39-year-old woman is accused of using fraudulent documents and at least 10 different aliases to land nursing jobs across Pennsylvania.

Shannon Nicole Womack, 39, has been charged with crimes including forgery, identity theft, procurement fraud, unlawful use of a computer, theft by unlawful taking, and endangering the welfare of care, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Womack allegedly used different aliases to pose as a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse and registered nurse supervisor at nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers. Investigators say she secured the jobs through staffing agencies by submitting fraudulently signed documents. She also created a fake limited liability company (LLC), according to a news release from Pennsylvania State Police.

In April, state troopers conducted a traffic stop of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle in western Pennsylvania. Womack, the driver, provided the troopers with false identification, and an investigation revealed that around 20 different aliases and seven different social security numbers were associated with her.

Investigators believe Womack began this pattern of fraud in 2020 and continued it across other states in the eastern part of the U.S., according to a separate news release from Pennsylvania State Police.

While a motive is not yet clear, the criminal complaint outlined that Womack had also stolen medication from several healthcare facilities.

"This case is particularly notable as it spans multiple states along the East Coast, suggesting a broader scope than initially anticipated," a spokesperson for Pennsylvania State Police told Fox News Digital in an email. "As court proceedings unfold, we may gain further insight into the underlying motive. However, the complaint already outlines a pattern of medication theft from several healthcare facilities."

The spokesperson added, "What stands out is not only the financial aspect, including payment for services, but also the involvement of high-value pharmaceuticals, which currently appears to be a significant link in the investigation."

Pennsylvania State Police — along with the Department of Health, Department of State, and multiple district attorneys and states — are asking healthcare providers across Pennsylvania to review their employment records to assist in their ongoing investigation. 

The aliases Womack used across different areas of Pennsylvania include: Shannon Nicole Parham, Shannon Nicole Abiola, Shannon Nicole Armstrong, Shannon Abiola-Parham, Shannon Nicole Grimes, Shannon Nicole Womack, Shannon Nicole Lawson, Shannon Nicole Lethco, Shannon Nicole Robinson and Shannon Lee Lawson.
