Yoshida isn't in Boston's lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
With left-hander Nestor Cortes set to start on the hill for New York, the lefty-hitting Yoshida will step out of the lineup to begin Boston's four-game series with the Pinstripes. Tyler O'Neill will fill in as the Red Sox's designated hitter and bat fourth.
