INJURIES
Knocks in two in win Yoshida went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.
Impact Yoshida, who entered the game with a .618 OPS through 44 games, batted cleanup and delivered a run-scoring single in the first inning. He later hustled out an infield single with the bases loaded to plate a run in the fifth. His season numbers are underwhelming, but Yoshida is making a modest impact in September. He's gone 10-for-32 (.313) with two doubles and six RBI over 10 games this month.

Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida Has Something To Prove Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida missed the first half of the season while recovering from shoulder surgery.

Out of lineup versus lefty Yoshida is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Yoshida had started in all three of the Red Sox's games versus Pittsburgh over the weekend and went 2-for-10 with two walks and one run, but he'll head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send lefty Parker Messick to the hill. Rob Refsnyder will replace Yoshida in the lineup at designated hitter.

Finishes month on sour note Yoshida served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Yoshida ended August on a down note. Over the final 12 games of the month, he had a .412 OPS with one extra-base hit and zero RBI. He's now batting just .224 with a .609 OPS and two home runs since his return to Boston in early July. It's fair to wonder how long Yoshida's leash is at DH given the limited impact his bat has made. Once Wilyer Abreu (calf) is ready to come off the IL, Yoshida's playing time should take a hit.

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.
Impact 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.
