Masataka Yoshida clutches up, Red Sox edge Yankees 9-7July 27, 2024 | 02:46 AM

Masataka Yoshida helped the Red Sox to a narrow 9-7 victory over the Yankees, finishing the game 1-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored. Writer's Analysis: Yoshida's RBI contribution was crucial in the tightly contested game, and he also managed to draw a walk, boosting his on-base percentage. With a season batting average now at .267 and a wOBA of .325, Yoshida continues to be a reliable option for fantasy managers, especially in formats that reward on-base percentage. His consistent contact skills and ability to drive in runs, evidenced by his 28 RBI in 55 games, make him a valuable asset in deeper leagues, though his lack of power and speed limits his ceiling in standard formats.
