Masataka Yoshida powers Sox past Yanks with key homer
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 7:08am EDT
Masataka Yoshida went 1-for-4 in the Red Sox's 5-3 victory over the Yankees, delivering a crucial home run along with two RBI and scoring once.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, highlighted by his third homer of the season, offers a glimpse of potential upside in Yoshida's power, which has been sporadic at best this season. With a batting average of .259 and a modest wOBA of .314 over 42 games, his fantasy relevance has largely been confined to deeper leagues or formats that reward on-base percentage. However, games like this could hint at a possible uptick in production, especially if he can leverage his power more consistently. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Yoshida for signs of sustained improvement, but temper expectations given his overall performance metrics this season.
