Masataka Yoshida Absent On Monday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida is absent from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This appears to be a routine day off for the 29-year-old outfielder. Yoshida has been in a slump at the plate, batting 5-for-25 over his last six games. The hope is that a rest day will help him regroup at the plate. Jarren Duran will cover left field and bat leadoff against right-hander Connor Seabold on Monday. On paper, this is a favorable spot for Duran against a struggling pitcher and batting in the leadoff spot.
