Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run in a loss to the Reds on Wednesday. Yoshida put the Red Sox on the board with a solo shot to right field in the second inning and came around to score following a double in the eighth. The outfielder tallied his fourth straight multi-hit game, during which he's batting a scorching .643 (9-for-14). The long ball was his first since May 4, but Yoshida has been impressive offensively in his first MLB campaign, slashing .317/.391/.508 while walking nearly as many times (20) as he's struck out (21)....

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Swipes bag Saturday
Yoshida went 1-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres. Yoshida also reached on a fielder's choice, which led to his stolen base in the fourth inning. The outfielder hasn't shown overwhelming speed so far, racking up three steals in his first 38 major-league games. He's hit safely in six of his last seven contests and is now batting .295 with an .863 OPS, six home runs, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored, nine doubles and one triple this season.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Big day against M's
Yoshida went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Mariners. Boston's bats were booming in this one as all six hits they collected against Luis Castillo went for extra bases, and Yoshida was right in the thick of the offensive eruption. The 29-year-old MLB rookie has found his groove at the plate, and over his last 97 plate appearances he's slashing a dazzling .375/.423/.648 with seven doubles, a triple, five homers, 17 runs and 21 RBI....

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Day off Saturday
Yoshida will sit Saturday against the Phillies, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. Yoshida hits the bench against lefty Bailey Falter, but given that he started against each of the previous four lefties the Red Sox faced, he's seemingly not at risk of being platooned. He's riding a 15-game hit streak which has pushed his season slash line up to .315/.400/.537, so Boston will want him in the lineup as often as possible going forward.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Batting stance adjustment working
Yoshida made a slight adjustment to his batting stance which he credits for his current hot stretch, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. The Red Sox outfielder has a hit in 14 consecutive games, going 25-for-56 (.446) with 13 runs, five doubles, five home runs and 15 RBI during the run. After consultation with the coaching staff, Yoshida opened up his stance, allowing him to see the ball better. "I can pick out the balls that I should swing at, so I think that's why I'm doing well," Yoshida said. He stressed the only thing that has changed is the stance; his swing remains the same. Yoshida, who batted .189 over his first 53 at-bats against MLB pitching, is up to a .317/.400/.548 slash line for the season.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Stays hot Thursday
Yoshida went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 11-5 win over the Blue Jays. Yoshida started the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning, and he added RBI singles in the second and fourth frames. He's hit safely in 14 straight games, going 25-for-56 (.446) over that span. It took the outfielder a couple of weeks to adjust to MLB, but he's now up to a .317/.400/.548 slash line with six homers, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases through 120 plate appearances....

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Extends hit streak
Yoshida went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays. Yoshida's fourth-inning home run -- his fifth of the season -- extended his hit streak to 12 games, during which he's 20-for-46 (.435) with four eight extra-base hits, 13 RBI and nine runs scored. The outfielder was batting just .167 and coming off a hamstring injury when he started the streak.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Moves up to two spot
Yoshida has moved up to the second spot in the Red Sox batting order for Friday's game against the Guardians, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. Yoshida has been Boston's regular cleanup hitter this season, but he and Rafael Devers will flip spots for Friday's festivities. The move makes sense, as Yoshida is showing strong on-base skills thus far and Devers is displaying more power.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Extends streak with homer
Yoshida went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 loss against the Orioles. Yoshida launched a home run off Tyler Wells to lead off the second inning, tying the game 1-1. Yoshida has now recorded a hit in seven straight contests, going 13-for-28 with three homers and 10 RBI in that span. The 29-year-old Yoshida has gotten off to quite a start in his first MLB season, slashing .276/.371/.461 with four home runs, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases through 89 plate appearances....

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Homers twice Sunday
Yoshida went 2-for-4 with two homers and six RBI in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Brewers. The Red Sox entered the eighth inning down 4-3 and finished up 12-5, largely in part due to the bat of Yoshida. He opened up the frame by going back-to-back with Justin Turner to give the Sox a 5-4 lead. He came back to the plate again and blew the game open with a grand slam to right field to extend the lead to 12-4. It was a breakout day for the rookie, and he rewarded fantasy managers who stayed patient with him with an unforgettable performance. Yoshida is now riding a four-game hit streak, and his lifted his slash line to .231/.329/.400 with three homers, 15 RBI, 11 runs and an 8:9 BB:K over 76 plate appearances. The 29-year-old also made mention that he's been working on his hitting mechanics and found a better one that works and is more comfortable for him. It certainly was on display Sunday and will hopefully continue to pay dividends moving forward.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Snaps slump
Yoshida went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 11-5 win over Minnesota. Yoshida's third-inning single knocked in a run and snapped an 0-for-18 slide. He later singled in Boston's final run in the eighth. Yoshida has mostly batted fifth to begin his MLB career, but there isn't much in his .189/.317/.264 slash line to indicate a middle-of-the-order bat. The best that can be said about his start is that he has an exceptional 7.9 percent K rate (five strikeouts in 63 plate appearances).... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Returns to starting lineup
Yoshida (hamstring) is hitting sixth as the designated hitter for Sunday's game against the Angels, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. As Red Sox manager Alex Cora predicted, Yoshida is able to return from his hamstring tightness for Sunday's series finale. The outfielder won't handle outfield duties, but he should be ready to return to that role in the coming days. Justin Turner will play first base with Yoshida in the DH position.... See More ...

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Remains sidelined Saturday
Yoshida (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Angels. Rob Refsnyder will cover left field and bat third versus the Angels and left-hander Tyler Anderson. Justin Turner is the designated hitter. Yoshida will aim to return Sunday from the right hamstring tightness that has now cost him four straight games.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Returning Sunday at latest
Manager Alex Cora wouldn't say for certain that Yoshida (hamstring) will play Saturday against the Angels, but he said the outfielder will definitely be back by Sunday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. It was reported earlier in the day that Yoshida would return Saturday, and that could still be in play, but it sounds like Cora doesn't want to fully commit to the Saturday return until he sees how Yoshida's hamstring is responding. Yoshida has only missed a couple games with the injury, making way for Rob Refsnyder in the short term.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: In line for Saturday return
Yoshida (hamstring) will be back in the Red Sox' lineup Saturday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports. Yoshida is missing a third straight start Friday due to right hamstring tightness, but the Red Sox seem to just be exercising caution in giving him one more day of rest. The outfielder is sitting on a .680 OPS with one homer and two steals through 10 games.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Out again Thursday
Yoshida (hamstring) remains out of the Red Sox' lineup Thursday in Tampa Bay. It's the second straight game he'll miss with right hamstring tightness. The expectation is that Yoshida will be ready to go Friday, when the Red Sox return home to host the Angels. Rob Refsnyder is in left field Thursday.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Expected back Friday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Yoshida (hamstring), who was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rays, is unlikely to start in Thursday's series finale, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. Boston seems content to err on the side of caution with Yoshida by giving him two days off while he contends with right hamstring tightness. Fortunately for Yoshida's fantasy managers, Cora said he's hopeful the rookie will to be ready to play Friday, when the Red Sox host the Angels.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Gets first day off
Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. The 29-year-old rookie will get his first day off of the season after getting off to a strong start through his first week and a half in the big leagues. Rob Refsnyder will get a turn in left field in place of Yoshida, who is slashing .233/.378/.367 with a home run, two stolen bases, eight runs and six RBI through eight games.... See More ...

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Scales Green Monster
Yoshida went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 loss to Pittsburgh. Yoshida hit his first home run in a Boston uniform, going over the wall in left field, and tied the game in the bottom half of the first inning. He's hit safely in three of the first four games, going 5-for-17 with five runs and five RBI. What's clearly evident early in the season is that Boston has a powerful lineup, which make middle-of-the-order bats like Yoshida promising fantasy contributors.... See More ... See Less -
Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Scores three runs
Yoshida went 2-for-4 with two RBI, three runs scored, a steal and a walk in Sunday's win over the Orioles.
