"Cora noted that while the club will 'need' Yoshida to play some outfield in order to get him into the lineup, the team's other defensive outfielders are all a cut above Yoshida defensively."
"Cora indicated that getting each of Anthony, Abreu, and Rafaela days off could be beneficial, but made no such pronouncement about Duran."
"'We'll see how it plays out,' Cora said, as relayed by McCaffrey. 'It's not easy, but I'll make it work.'"
The Red Sox's outfield features several standout players, including All-Star Jarren Duran and Gold Glove winner Wilyer Abreu. Ceddanne Rafaela is recognized as the best defensive outfielder in the American League, while Roman Anthony boasts a high on-base percentage early in his career. Manager Alex Cora faces challenges in fitting veteran DH Masataka Yoshida into the lineup, as the other outfielders excel defensively. Cora plans to utilize Yoshida in left field but acknowledges the difficulty of managing the outfield mix.
