16 seconds agoBoston Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) has been cleared to take live batting practice in camp, according to Mass Live's Christopher Smith. Yoshida needed surgery last October to fix a tear in the labrum in his right shoulder, which is why he's been delayed early in spring training. However, the Red Sox expect the 31-year-old Japanese slugger to be ready for Opening Day at the end of March as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks with his surgically repaired shoulder once he begins swinging a bat. Even if Yoshida is ready for the start of the 2025 regular season, his fantasy value will be down after disappointing in his first two big-league seasons in Beantown. He makes plenty of contact and has hit .285 in 248 games, but he lacks power (25 homers) and is a DH-only in fantasy. If the Red Sox end up moving Rafael Devers or Triston Casas to DH in 2025, Yoshida could lose valuable playing time.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
