Masataka Yoshida Plans To Be Ready For Opening Day
The Boston Herald's Gabrielle Star reports that Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) said he's planning to be ready for Opening Day in late March. Yoshida has made plenty of contact for the Red Sox in his two seasons with the team, but he's coming off right-shoulder injury and has pretty much become a full-time DH at this point. The 31-year-old left-handed hitter's fantasy profile wasn't helped when Alex Bregman signed with Boston, either, as either Rafael Devers or Triston Casas could see more time at DH if the team uses Bregman at third base. Yoshida hit .280/.349/.415 with a .765 OPS, 10 homers, 56 RBI and 45 runs scored in 108 games played last year. He's limited defensively, doesn't hit for much power and is now an injury question mark, dropping his fantasy stock significantly going into his third year in the big leagues.
