4/27/24 Masataka Yoshida gets back in Red Sox lineup, as team keeps his glove out of the mix. A year ago, the Sox featured one of baseball's worst defenses in years — partly a reflection of Yoshida's severe struggles in left. According to Statcast, the Sox outfield converted 12 fewer outs than an average team, fifth-worst in the majors. Yoshida was eight outs below average in left, also fifth worst among left fielders. “This decision [to keep Yoshida at DH] was made in the offseason,” said Sox manager Alex Cora.

4/25/24 Why Red Sox Did Not Stick To Masataka Yoshida Return Plan. Alex Cora on Wednesday didn't take kindly to curiosity about Masataka Yoshida's recent absences. The Red Sox manager also stressed the second-year big leaguer would be back in Boston's starting lineup Thursday. Boston opened its series finale in Cleveland with Yoshida on the bench for the fourth consecutive contest. Rafael Devers, who returned from a knee injury Wednesday night, was supposed to start at third base for the Red Sox on Thursday afternoon, per MassLive's Chris Cotillo.

4/24/24 Alex Cora Explains Masataka Yoshida's Absence From Red Sox Lineup. Masataka Yoshida being out of the Boston Red Sox starting lineup for a third straight game when they take on the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday raised eyebrows. Given the rash of injuries that have hit the Red Sox early this season, perhaps the injury bug bit Yoshida as well. Red Sox manager Alex Cora explained Yoshida's absence has to do with the returns of Tyler O'Neill and Rafael Devers, who missed the last five games due to a knee injury.
