Boston Red Sox left fielder Masataka Yoshida might require surgery on his injured left thumb, manager Alex Cora said Thursday.
Per Cora, the team’s medical staff is gathering information on Yoshida’s injury but noted that surgery remains one of the possibilities. Yoshida was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, with the move retroactive to Monday.
Yoshida, 30, sustained the injury while jamming his hand on Sunday during Boston’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs.
In his second MLB season, Yoshida is batting .275 with two home runs and 11 RBIs through 24 games this season. He finished sixth in American League Rookie of the Year voting for the Red Sox in 2023.
