Red Sox Place Masataka Yoshida on Injured List One Day After Mid-Game Exit
Yoshida was batting .274 with five home runs and 28 RBIs this season before Boston recalled Mickey Gasper and Raymond Burgos.
- On Sunday, The Boston Red Sox placed outfielder Masataka Yoshida on the 10-day injured list after he sustained a left hamstring strain while legging out a double during Saturday's 4-0 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
- Concurrent with Yoshida's injury, Boston also placed right-hander Justin Slaten on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, weakening a bullpen that anchored the team's July and August surge.
- Before the injury, Yoshida hit.333 with a homer and nine RBIs over his last 17 games, while Slaten had recently struggled, allowing runs in two of his last three appearances after 10 straight scoreless outings.
- To replace the pair on the 26-man roster, Boston recalled catcher Mickey Gasper and left-hander Raymond Burgos from Triple-A Worcester ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks series starting Monday.
- While the team has not disclosed a recovery timeline, Yoshida will undergo tests when the Red Sox return to Boston; the veteran noted a prior hamstring injury in Japan cost him roughly a month of games.
