Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Idle against southpaw
Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
For the second time in the series, the left-handed-hitting Yoshida will bow out of the lineup while the Yankees send a left-handed pitcher (Carlos Rodon) to the bump. With Yoshida on the bench, Roman Anthony will serve as the Red Sox's designated hitter, and Jhostynxon Garcia will pick up a start in right field.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Idle Friday
Yoshida isn't part of the starting nine for Friday's game against Miami, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida will cede DH work to Roman Anthony for the second time in four games, taking a seat against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins. Yoshida is 7-for-19 (.368) with two doubles, a homer and seven RBI in his last six games.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Taking seat Monday
Yoshida is not in the Red Sox's starting lineup against the Astros on Monday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida will be available off the bench while Roman Anthony serves as the DH and Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu man the outfield from left to right. Yoshida went 4-for-11 with one double, one home run and four RBI during Boston's three-game weekend series against San Diego.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Clubs second homer
Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 10-2 win over the Padres.
The 32-year-old put an exclamation point on the rout when he launched a two-run homer off Sean Reynolds in the ninth inning. Yoshida has two long balls on the season, both of which have come in his last five starts, but his playing time and production both remain inconsistent. Over 47 plate appearances since the All-Star break, Yoshida is slashing .227/.255/.409 with three runs, six RBI and a 1:10 BB:K.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Sitting for second straight game
Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
With Houston sending lefty Framber Valdez to the hill, Yoshida will take a seat for the second day in a row. Rob Refsnyder will serve as Boston's designated hitter in the series finale.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Socks first homer of season
Yoshida went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 13-1 win over the Twins.
The 32-year-old launched a solo shot off position player Kody Clemens in the ninth inning, giving Yoshida his first homer of the year in his 13th game. After a very belated start to his campaign due to offseason shoulder surgery, Yoshida has a .239/.255/.370 slash line with three doubles, two steals, three runs and four RBI in 47 plate appearances since his activation in early July. He's been seeing consistent playing time since the All-Star break, but Yoshida's role could become more secure of the Red Sox are able to flip one of their young outfielders before the trade deadline.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Starting against RHP again
Yoshida will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Yoshida will make his second straight start against a right-handed pitching, and he could begin to find himself in the lineup on a more frequent basis with Ceddanne Rafaela seeing more playing time at second base to cover for Marcelo Mayer (wrist), temporarily relieving Boston's logjam in the outfield/DH ranks.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Makes first outfield start
Yoshida started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Cubs.
Yoshida made his first start in the field after a series of appearances as the designated hitter or as a pinch hitter. He was eventually pinch hit for against lefty Drew Pomeranz. Yoshida has gone 6-for-22 (.273) with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored over seven games since coming off the injured list in the week leading up to the All-Star break.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Productive in debut
Yoshida started at designated hitter and went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.
Yoshida made his season debut after missing the first 93 games while recovering from a shoulder injury. His rehab stint was relatively brief for having sat out such a long time -- five games, 17 plate appearances -- but Yoshida was ready for the majors. Boston's outfield was already a logjam with four players for three spots, but they had the DH spot to accommodate the at-bats for all four. Yoshida's return complicates matters.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Activated ahead of season debut
The Red Sox activated Yoshida (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Yoshida is finally ready to make his season debut for the Red Sox after a long recovery from offseason surgery on his right shoulder. The 31-year-old will start at designated hitter and will bat sixth in Wednesday's game versus righty Antonio Senzatela and the Rockies. Yoshida might have to get off to a good start if he wants to see regular playing time, as the Red Sox have lots of mouths to feed between the outfield and DH.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Likely returning Wednesday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Yoshida (shoulder) will "most likely" be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Yoshida has played five rehab games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, going 4-for-14 with a 2:2 K:BB. He is with the Red Sox in Boston and will go through a workout Monday and "probably" another one Tuesday, according to Cora, before being activated for his season debut if all goes well. Yoshida's role upon his return is unclear, as Boston has already been struggling to find regular playing time for all its outfield and designated-hitter options. Yoshida made three starts at DH and two in left field during his rehab assignment.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Returning during homestand
Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Yoshida (shoulder) will return from the injured list during Boston's upcoming homestand, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The Boston skipper didn't say exactly when Yoshida will be activated, but his comments confirm that the 31-year-old outfielder will return before the All-Star break. However, it's unclear what kind of role Yoshida will play upon his return, as the team is already juggling five outfielders on its active roster.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Begins rehab assignment
Yoshida (shoulder) went 0-for-2 with a walk for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
Yoshida kicked off a rehab assignment with the WooSox, serving as the DH and playing all seven innings in the first game of a doubleheader. Given his lengthy stint on the injured list, Yoshida may be given the maximum time allowed (20 days) before before being activated. It's unclear if there will be a regular role for Yoshida when he returns, particularly as Boston looks to get at-bats for top prospect Roman Anthony.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Getting test run at first base
The Red Sox plan to give Yoshida (shoulder) some "light work" at first base during his rehab assignment, Sean McAdam and Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com report.
Yoshida was seen working out at the position Wednesday prior to the first game of Worcester's doubleheader. While the Red Sox haven't ruled out Yoshida playing the position in games, it's seen as unlikely at this juncture, as he will focus on designated hitter and the outfield. Yoshida is serving as the DH and batting second in the first game of Worcester's twin bill in what will be his first game action since spring training. He could be transferred to Double-A Portland this weekend while Worcester begins a road trip. The Red Sox haven't put a timeline on Yoshida's activation from the 60-day injured list, but his rehab assignment could be a lengthy one given the 31-year-old's long layoff.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Cleared to start rehab assignment
Yoshida (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Mike Monaco of ESPN reports.
Yoshida is in the final stages of his recovery from offseason surgery on his right shoulder. He played exclusively at DH in 2024 but will get some reps in the outfield during his rehab in the minors. How Yoshida fairs early on in his rehab assignment will provide the Red Sox a better idea of when the 31-year-old will be able to return to the majors.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Rehab assignment pending
Yoshida (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Yoshida is expected to play outfield during his rehab stint, a notable development considering Yoshida exclusively played DH in 2024. It's unclear how many games Yoshida will need to ramp up, but he's nearing a big-league return. He's been on the shelf since October after undergoing right shoulder surgery.
