8/31/24 Red Sox would rather bench star DH than have him play in the outfield. Boston Red Sox manager Alexa Cora is adamant on not playing Masataka Yoshida in the field, per Ian Browne. Cora would rather bench Yoshida and have him pinch hit then let him play a full game. This is honestly unfair to Yoshida, who wants to play in the outfield, as he did in the NPB, but the Sox won't let him because they'd rather he DH.

8/30/24 Why Red Sox won't start one of their hottest hitters Friday, Saturday. DH Masataka Yoshida is not in the Red Sox lineup against the Tigers on Friday. Devers missed Boston's past three games (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday against the Blue Jays) because of chronic shoulder soreness. The Red Sox are trying to ease him back into the lineup by starting him at DH the next two days.

8/25/24 Red Sox Notes: How Alex Cora Felt About Masataka Yoshida Base-Running. Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida attempted to stretch a double into a triple during the fourth inning of Boston's 7-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unfortunately for both Yoshida and the Red Sox, he was easily thrown out at third base for the second out of the inning. Making it even worse for Boston was that Connor Wong hit a wall-ball double to left field the very next batter. It almost certainly would have produced a one-out run should Yoshida have been standing on second base rather than in the Red Sox dugout.

8/20/24 The Numbers Behind The Red Sox Bullpen's Implosion Since The All-Star Break. Monday night's loss in Houston was the epitome of all that has gone wrong for the Boston Red Sox in the second half. After Masataka Yoshida's clutch pinch-hit home run made it 4-2 Boston in the top of the sixth inning, the Red Sox had a 76% win probability, per Baseball Savant. But the Houston Astros clawed back, scoring a run in the sixth and eighth innings before Yainer Diaz launched a walk-off home run off closer Kenley Jansen. The loss was as consequential as it was painful. It dropped Boston to 4.5 games behind the Kansas City Royals for the third American League Wild Card spot, their largest deficit of the season, with just 38 games to go.

8/19/24 Red Sox DH hitting .348 (.960 OPS) since July 1, but again sits against LHP. Masataka Yoshida has been one of the best hitters in baseball since July 1, hitting .348 with six homers, seven doubles and a .960 OPS in his last 37 games. For the second time in three days with a lefty on the mound for the other team, Yoshida will start the game on the bench. The Red Sox will instead use both catchers (with Danny Jansen catching and Connor Wong at designated hitter) against the Astros and lefty Yusei Kikuchi, who owns a 2.70 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 16? innings since Houston acquired him from the Blue Jays ahead of the trade deadline.

8/17/24 Masataka Yoshida homers and has 4 RBIs, Red Sox outlast Orioles 12-10. Masataka Yoshida homered and had four RBIs and the Boston Red Sox pounded All-Star Corbin Burnes before holding on to beat the Baltimore Orioles 12-10 on Friday night. Burnes (12-5) gave up eight runs and 10 hits — both career highs — in four innings. It was a performance unbefitting the AL starter last month in the All-Star game and the 2021 Cy Young Award winner. Burnes yielded two home runs, walked three and threw two wild pitches on a hot, humid night. His ERA jumped from 2.71 to 3.10, the highest it’s been all season. Ramón Urías went 3 for 3 with a homer and five RBIs for the Orioles. They fell a game behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East.

8/09/24 Red Sox Slugger Listed As Player Most Likely To Be Traded In 2025. The Boston Red Sox have the hottest offense in baseball right now, but they could be trading away one of their heavy hitters next season. Boston has been destroying the baseball since the All-Star break, with players like Masataka Yoshida slashing for both average and power. Yoshida is hitting .350 since the break and has also produced 13 RBIs in that span. The 31-year-old DH is in the second year of his five-year, $90 million contract with the Red Sox, but a new report indicates that Boston could be trading Yoshida next season.

8/08/24 Red Sox manager Alex Cora says his DH is living up to expectations. The Boston Red Sox have been playing well lately, including taking two of three games for the Kansas City Royals this week. During Boston's impressive stretch, designated hitter Masataka Yoshida has been on a roll of his own. In this series alone, Yoshida recorded six total hits (two doubles, one home run and three RBIs) in 14 at-bats. When Yoshida is hitting well, the lineup is much more dangerous.

8/06/24 Red Sox Notes: Masataka Yoshida Backs Up Alex Cora's Praise. The Boston Red Sox have slugged their way back to quality play on the field following a rough stretch out of the All-Star break. The offense is the name of the game in recent weeks for the Red Sox with a deep, capable order. Before Tuesday's game, Alex Cora highlighted Masataka Yoshida as a key bat that extends the lineup and makes Boston "elite" when he's producing. After a four-hit night on Monday, Yoshida answered the call to back the praise from the Red Sox manager.
