Alex Cora didn’t specify exactly when Masataka Yoshida will return to the Red Sox lineup, but it could come as soon as Tuesday’s matchup with the Colorado Rockies.
Yoshida hit a pair of RBI singles in his rehab outing with Double-A Portland on Saturday and has one more scheduled appearance on Sunday before a day off on Monday. At some point after that, he’ll be activated in Boston and be able to play whenever Cora decides.
Of course, the question on most fans’ minds isn’t when he’ll play, but where?
Prior to Boston trading Rafael Devers in June, Yoshida’s path to the lineup was very unclear.
