Masataka Yoshida Back In The Starting Lineup Thursday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (forearm) will return to the starting lineup Thursday versus the Miami Marlins. Yoshida has not started since June 25 due to a forearm issue, but he did make a pinch-hitting appearance on Wednesday night. The American League Rookie of the Year candidate has made a seamless transition to North American baseball, hitting .297 with eight homers, three stolen bases, and an .836 OPS across 70 appearances on the campaign. The lefty-swinging outfielder will serve as the club's designated hitter on Thursday, hitting sixth against Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo.
