Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter Masataka Yoshida is recovering from surgery to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
The team announced Wednesday that Yoshida, 31, underwent successful surgery on Oct. 3. Dr. Evan O’Donnell performed the procedure at Massachusetts General Hospital. The Red Sox didn’t say whether he’d be ready for the start of spring training.
Yoshida played seven years of pro baseball in Japan before signing a five-year, $90 million contract with the Red Sox on Dec. 7, 2022.
In two seasons in Boston, he has an average of .285, with 261 hits, 116 runs, 25 homers and 128 RBIs in 248 games.
He was limited to 108 games in 2024, largely due to a left thumb strained that sidelined him on April 28. He did not return until June 11.
