Yoshida Returns to Red Sox, Team Faces Roster Decisions

News summary

Masataka Yoshida returned to the Boston Red Sox lineup as designated hitter after missing 93 games due to major shoulder surgery, delivering two hits and an RBI in his first game back against the Colorado Rockies. His return followed the mid-June trade of Rafael Devers, with the Red Sox optioning Nate Eaton to Triple-A Worcester to clear a roster spot. Manager Alex Cora now faces tough decisions managing a surplus of left-handed hitting outfielders, with Yoshida expected to play primarily against right-handed pitchers. The team is also anticipating the return of All-Star Alex Bregman, which could prompt more roster moves. Yoshida’s future with the Red Sox remains uncertain ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, as he is owed approximately $37.2 million. The Red Sox are currently on a five-game winning streak and are working to optimize their lineup for ongoing success.
