Said he felt the pain as far back as mid April but didn’t remember when it startedThe 30-year-old was off to a slow start this season for Boston. Through 80 at-bats, he's hitting a respectable .275 but has just two homers and 11 RBI.
When he does come back, there's no telling how the Red Sox plan to use him, and there's even been the idea that he could be a trade piece for them in the future. Signed to a $90 million deal before the 2023 season, Yoshida still has three-plus years left on his contract. He hit well in 2023, popping 15 homers and bringing in 72 over 140 games. He also hit .289, but with Craig Breslow opting for a different lineup style, he appears to have fallen out of favor.They'll take on the Detroit Tigers on Friday night at Fenway Park.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
