Idle against southpaw
Yoshida is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analiz
He'll be on the bench Wednesday while southpaw Andrew Alvarez serves as a primary pitcher for the Nationals, and the left-handed-hitting Yoshida's opportunities versus righties could soon dry up as well. The Red Sox have already been using Yoshida as a part-time player versus righties of late while he's put together an uninspiring .246/.329/.345 slash line (88 wRC+) in those matchups for the season. With Yoshida having been limited to just five starts in the outfield, he's not providing much defensive value to offset the lack of production he's provided out of the designated-hitter spot.

Homers in win
Yoshida went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.
Analiz
Yoshida jump-started Boston's offense with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning. It was just the second homer of the season for Yoshida, who has been deployed at leadoff four times within the last two weeks. Overall, the outfielder's role hasn't changed much since the start of the season, even with the continued absence of Roman Anthony (finger). He's been limited mostly to designated hitter and pinch-hitting opportunities.
