• Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Extends hit streak

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Yoshida went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 4-3 win over the Tigers. The Red Sox did little against Detroit starter Casey Mize for six innings until Yoshida opened the seventh with a single. Two batters later and after 80 pitches, Mize was removed, and the Red Sox took advantage of the bullpen. Yoshida scored in the seventh, and Boston scored runs in the following two innings to complete the comeback. The multi-hit effort extended Yoshida's hit streak to seven games, during which he's gone 13-for-30 (.433) with four extra-base hits and five RBI.

• Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Runs RBI streak to five games

  09/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Yoshida went 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rays. Yoshida extended an RBI streak to five games when his single plated the second run in Boston's three-run ninth inning. He's knocked in six runs during the streak. September has been Yoshida's most productive month, as he's batting .302 (13-for-43) with nine RBI over 13 contests. He should see regular work as the designated hitter against right-handers over the final week of the regular season.

• Red Sox's Masataka Yoshida: Knocks in two in win

  09/18/2025 • By RotoWire

  Yoshida went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics. Yoshida, who entered the game with a .618 OPS through 44 games, batted cleanup and delivered a run-scoring single in the first inning. He later hustled out an infield single with the bases loaded to plate a run in the fifth. His season numbers are underwhelming, but Yoshida is making a modest impact in September. He's gone 10-for-32 (.313) with two doubles and six RBI over 10 games this month.
