2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Yoshida's offseason shoulder surgery pushed his 2025 debut into early July, and his usage remained limited. Despite preseason plans for more time in the field, he logged only five outfield appearances and spent 44 games at designated hitter, largely facing right handers due to his platoon splits. His slugging percentage dipped to a three-year low, a common outcome after shoulder surgery, though the underlying profile was unusual. Yoshida actually showed increased contact authority compared to the prior two seasons, but a rising ground ball rate muted the results. His disciplined approach supports a stable batting average, yet his power output and run production depend on elevating the ball more consistently. Ultimately, Yoshida's playing time will depend on how the Red Sox manage their crowded outfield. Read Past Outlooks
