Red Sox DH/OF Yoshida to start Triple-A rehab assignment Tuesday

BOSTON -- The struggling Boston Red Sox could be getting some offensive help soon.

Manager Alex Cora said Masataka Yoshida would start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. The 31-year-old DH/outfielder has been out the entire season following surgery on his right shoulder in October.

"He'll go on a rehab assignment. We'll see how many at-bats he needs," Cora said Saturday before the Red Sox faced the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. "He's moving well, the swing feels great, the throwing has been a lot better.
