Fantasy Impact:

Yoshida’s first Grapefruit League homer Tuesday shows his swing’s back, but throwing at just 100 feet post-shoulder surgery likely lands him on the Red Sox’ 10-day IL, per Cora. Rafael Devers at DH and a set outfield cloud his role. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, expecting his bat to find a spot in Boston’s lineup once fully cleared.
