| 9/07/25 | Red Sox lineup: Masataka Yoshida leading off again, but Alex Cora makes changes elsewhere. PHOENIX — As the Red Sox try to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Masataka Yoshida will lead off for the second straight day while there are changes elsewhere in the batting order. Facing righty Ryne Nelson, a Sox offense that has struggled to score runs in the wake of Roman Anthony's oblique injury will look a little bit different at Chase Field. Rob Refsnyder is in right field over Nate Eaton, who played there in the first two games of the series. David Hamilton gets the start at second base over Romy Gonzalez. And Connor Wong, for the first time in the series, is starting over Carlos Narváez. That was expected with Brayan Bello on the mound.

| 8/31/25 | Red Sox's Alex Cora delivers optimistic Masataka Yoshida evaluation amid Pirates series. As there will be rumors around the Boston Red Sox, one key storyline around him has been the performance of outfielder Masataka Yoshida, currently in his third season with the ball club. With the Red Sox outfielder having returned from the injured list in July and still trying to find some consistency, manager Alex Cora has commented on the player's recent outings, amidst speculation about his role on the team. It has no doubt been a frustrating season for Yoshida, as he started the season on the injured list due to a right shoulder injury and proceeded to miss over 90 games. Having played over 30 this season, it has been a rocky road, especially this current series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, going two-for-six with two strikeouts, garnering a “solid” take from Cora.

(Photo by Paul Rutherford/Getty Images) Getty Images By Sean McAdam | sean.mcadam@masslive.com BOSTON — Over the course of a long season, there are often multiple candidates for worst loss of the year. Only a few days ago, the Red Sox squandered a two-run lead with six outs to go. And the fact that they've been walked off 11 times on the road is a reminder that there's plenty of competition for the title.

| 8/04/25 | Red Sox lineup: Masataka Yoshida sits for third straight game with another lefty on mound. BOSTON — The Red Sox will face a left-handed starter for the third straight game Monday night. And for the third straight night, Masataka Yoshida is out of the lineup. Despite an insistence from manager Alex Cora that the club believes Yoshida can handle lefties, he's once again on the bench Monday as Boston begins a three-game series with the Royals. Lefty-mashers Romy Gonzalez (leading off, playing second base) and Rob Refsnyder (the designated hitter, batting fourth) are at the top of the lineup, as assumed. Roman Anthony is in right field and Jarren Duran is in left field with Wilyer Abreu the odd man out of the outfield picture.

| 7/31/25 | No big deals because Red Sox refused to move their big league contributors at the trade deadline. With a focus on 2025, they decided to pursue upgrades to the big league roster instead of diminishing one area to bolster another. “Over the last two to three weeks, it became clear that all 26 guys on our roster were contributing to what we were doing,” said Breslow. Briefly, after Masataka Yoshida was activated from the injured list in early July – thus creating a roster bottleneck in which one of Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, or Yoshida would sit every night – the Sox appeared well positioned to deal an outfielder.

| 7/27/25 | 3 solutions for Red Sox to solve their outfield logjam before trade deadline. The Boston Red Sox remain in the Wild Card race as their heater before the All-Star break propelled them back into the conversation, but a few issues still linger on the roster. The outfield is playing incredibly well, but there are simply too many players to give all the talent consistent playing time. Breslow has made several successful moves to build this roster, which now seems just two pieces away from being a genuine World Series contender. With Masataka Yoshida returning and Alex Bregman healthy, questions about how to resolve the outfield logjam are growing louder. Source: https://bosoxinjection.com/3-solutions-for-red-sox... |

| 7/20/25 | Masataka Yoshida adds defensive duties, playing left field for Red Sox. Yoshida had no qualms about putting on his glove, even on a cooler, slightly blustery summer afternoon at notoriously unpredictable Wrigley Field, saying his everyday pregame routine still includes outfield reps during batting practice. … My goal was to get back out there in the outfield when I got the surgery. It's been a long process but to be able to go back out there and play the outfield, it's really important for me. It's been a busy series for Yoshida, among the glut of outfielders that Cora juggles from day to day. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/20/sports/red-... |
