Contributes to win Yoshida went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in a 10-0 win over Tampa Bay in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

Impact Yoshida jumped on the first pitch he saw in the fourth inning -- a sinker that didn't sink -- and curled it inside the foul pole down the right-field line. It was his fourth homer of the season and third in the last nine contests. Yoshida has hit safely in his last seven starts, going 13-for-29 (.448) with four doubles, three home runs, seven RBI and eight runs scored during that stretch. He's not an everyday starter but is finding regular work at designated hitter against right-handers.

Taking seat against lefty Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Yoshida has gone 7-for-17 with a home run, two doubles and two walks while starting in each of the Red Sox's last four matchups with righties, but the lefty-swinging batter will move to the bench Sunday while the Mets send southpaw Zach Thornton to the bump. Jarren Duran will fill in for Yoshida as Boston's designated hitter and will bat seventh.

Opens Friday's scoring Yoshida went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in the Red Sox's 6-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

Impact Yoshida got the Red Sox on the board early with a two-run double in the first inning that brought both Wilyer Abreu and Anthony Seigler home. Yoshida is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 10-for-22 (.455) with one home run, four RBI, three doubles and four runs scored. He figures to be in the Red Sox's lineup for the last two games of the All-Star break, seeing as Willson Contreras (foot) is serving a five-game suspension.

Records three hits in win Yoshida went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

Impact Yoshida's third single of the day in the seventh inning upped Boston's lead to 7-3. This was the first appearance five games for Yoshida, who is part of a rotation at designated hitter. He's hit safely in four straight games (7-for-13) with a double, a home run and two RBI during that stretch.

Idle against southpaw Yoshida is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact He'll be on the bench Wednesday while southpaw Andrew Alvarez starts for the Nationals, and the left-handed-hitting Yoshida's opportunities versus righties could soon dry up as well. The Red Sox have already been using Yoshida as a part-time player versus righties of late while he's put together an uninspiring .246/.329/.345 slash line (88 wRC+) in those matchups for the season. With Yoshida having been limited to just five starts in the outfield, he's not providing much defensive value to offset the lack of production he's provided out of the designated-hitter spot.

Homers in win Yoshida went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.

Impact Yoshida started it early with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning. It was just the second homer of the season for Yoshida, who has been deployed as a leadoff four times within the last two weeks. Overall, the outfielder's role hasn't changed since the start of the season, even with the continued absence of Roman Anthony (finger). He's been limited mostly to designated hitter and pinch-hitting opportunities.

Sitting again Sunday Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Yoshida will hit the bench for the third time in four games, despite the Red Sox facing right-handed starting pitchers in each of those contests. With Yoshida having cobbled together an underwhelming .248/.329/.331 slash line over 164 plate appearances on the season, the Red Sox appear ready to scale back his role to see if another player can inject some life into the offense.

JUNE 21 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up steal Yoshida went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Yoshida has hit safely in his last five games, going 6-for-18 (.333) in that span. The 32-year-old has settled into a part-time role lately as he battles Mickey Gasper for playing time as the designated hitter. Yoshida is hitting .248 on the year and has added a .660 OPS, one home run, two steals, 10 RBI and 15 runs scored over 164 plate appearances. His plate discipline remains pretty good, but with less power than ever, Yoshida doesn't add much in fantasy.
