Masataka Yoshida's recovery has not gone as planned for the Boston Red Sox, with no immediate timeline for his return to the outfield. After undergoing major surgery, the Red Sox are committed to ensuring he is fully fit before he joins the roster. Manager Alex Cora expressed frustration, acknowledging the support provided to Yoshida but indicating setbacks have delayed his return. While Yoshida's performance hasn't been stellar, he has shown potential with an OPS+ of 111 in over 1,000 plate appearances, making his absence felt.
