Fantasy Baseball Shake-Up: Is Yu Darvish’s Return a Game-Changer and Colt Keith’s Rise No Fluke?
Masataka Yoshida – OF, BOS (7% rostered)
(RECENT IL RETURN, BATTING AVERAGE UPSIDE)

Yoshida came back from the IL this week and went 4-for-11 with two doubles, an RBI, a run scored, and one steal in his first three games of the season. He’s a career .285/.343/.433 hitter in Major League Baseball with just a 13.3% strikeout rate in 248 games. He’s going to provide a great batting average and the potential for solid counting stats while hitting near the middle of Boston’s lineup. Well, we think. When the Red Sox bring back Yoshida, they will have only four lineup spots for Yoshida, Ceddanne Rafaela, Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran, and Wilyer Abreu. They have managed it so far by rotating days off, but I think a trade has to be coming. Maybe it’s Yoshida being moved into a full-time role elsewhere?
