Masataka Yoshida has received an uptick in playing time for the Boston Red Sox following an injury to Roman Anthony. Anthony was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday due to a wrist injury, creating an opportunity for the left-handed-batting Yoshida to see regular playing time. In Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, Yoshida started at designated hitter and recorded 0 hits in 3 at-bats while drawing a walk and scoring a run in the Red Sox's 8-4 loss. The left-handed Yoshida is expected to continue receiving starts whenever Boston faces right-handed pitchers. Prior to this opportunity, Yoshida had been in a limited role, but the Anthony injury has opened a regular spot in the Red Sox lineup.
