The Boston Red Sox are in a challenging phase of their 2025 season, recently dropping to fourth in the AL East after trading away Rafael Devers, the last remnant of their 2018 World Series-winning team. Their recent form shows a concerning 3-7 record over the last ten games, including a six-game losing streak, finally ending with a long-awaited victory against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 28.

As July approaches, the Red Sox are striving to revive their season and remain competitive in the AL Wild Card race. Adding a boost to their roster, outfielder Masataka Yoshida is set to return to action via the Triple-A Worcester lineup following shoulder surgery. Yoshida, a vital left-handed presence in the lineup, has a career .285 batting average and will aim to return to the major league before the upcoming All-Star break.
