Yoshida underwent surgery Oct. 3 to repair a labral tear in his right shoulder, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. The hope is that Yoshida will be ready in time for Opening Day, although it's not clear how limited, if at all, he will be during spring training. Yoshida slashed .280/.349/.415 with 10 home runs over 108 games for Boston this season as its full-time designated hitter.

Yoshida may have right shoulder surgery soon, Carlos Yamazaki of Tokyo Sports Press reports. Yoshida also expressed frustration about not getting enough at-bats and being a full-time designated hitter this year, per Chris Ryan of New Hampshire Today. The 31-year-old slashed .280/.349/.415 with 10 home runs, 45 runs, 56 RBI and two steals in 108 games this year. He will be UT-only next year in fantasy in the vast majority of formats after getting just one start in the outfield.

Yoshida is slashing .198/.283/.302 with two home runs and 13 RBI across 99 plate appearances against left-handed pitchers this season.
