Masataka Yoshida expects to be ready for Opening Day

Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) said Tuesday that he expects to be ready for Opening Day, per Gabrielle Starr of The Boston Herald. This is a more optimistic stance than his comments at Red Sox Fan Fest in January, where his availability seemed uncertain.

Fantasy Impact

While Yoshida appears on track health-wise, his role remains unclear heading into 2025. He was initially expected to be the team’s primary designated hitter, but with Rafael Devers potentially seeing more DH at-bats following Alex Bregman’s arrival, his playing time could fluctuate. Additionally, Boston has explored trade options for Yoshida this offseason. Fantasy managers should monitor his situation throughout camp, as his value could shift depending on where and how often he plays.
