Masataka Yoshida went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the Red Sox's 7-1 victory over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included driving in key runs, which bolstered his RBI total to 54 for the season. Yoshida's consistent hitting, evidenced by his .291 batting average and 100 hits in 98 games, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward contact hitting and on-base percentage. His low strikeout rate combined with a solid wOBA (.351) underscores his ability to contribute positively in multiple categories, although his power numbers and stolen bases are limited.
