Masataka Yoshida finished the 2024 season hitting .280 with a .765 OPS for the Red Sox in an up-and-down year. A thumb injury hindered Yoshida in the first half, and Sunday revealed that the Boston designated hitter battled right shoulder issues down the stretch, which may need to be addressed in the offseason for the second-year Red Sox hitter.
Cora told reporters, "They're going to check his shoulder. There's a few guys that are banged up. They're gonna get their physicals. I think he's scheduled to get an MRI, I wanna say Tuesday, and we'll go from there."
Yoshida explained, "I'll get a physical sooner or later and try to come up with the best solution." He acknowledged the discomfort but felt it was manageable. "When I had swings and misses, I felt it a little bit. I felt like I could keep swinging and playing. That's why I kept playing."
