    • Hitting bench Wednesday
      Yoshida is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Yoshida returned from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and started at designated hitter in Boston's 4-1 loss, going 0-for-2 with a walk. Though he should serve as Boston's primary DH now that he's healthy again, Yoshida will give way to Tyler O'Neill on Wednesday. O'Neill missed the Red Sox's previous three games and is being eased back into the lineup in a non-defensive role, but he should eventually see regular starts in the corner outfield to keep the DH spot open for Yoshida.

    • Kyle Tucker (shin) won’t be ready Friday
      Astros manager Joe Espada said Kyle Tucker won’t return from the IL when first eligible on Friday.

      Advice: Espada said Tucker hasn’t been ruled out for the entire weekend, but Friday is off the table. Trey Cabbage has been picking up extra at-bats in place of Tucker, who fouled a ball off his shin last week. Rotoworld Wednesday, 11:20 am

    • Unlikely to return Friday
      The Astros announced Wednesday that Tucker (shin) isn't expected to be ready to return from the 10-day injured list Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Tucker is feeling better as he works his way back from a bruised right shin, but he hasn't yet resumed baseball activities and won't be ready for activation when first eligible. The Astros have mostly been using Trey Cabbage in right field against right-handers and Chas McCormick versus lefties since Tucker was shut down with the injury. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:50 am

    • Kyle Tucker (shin) has yet to ramp up activity
      Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Kyle Tucker (shin) has yet to resume baseball activities.

      Advice: Tucker is off crutches, but remains shut down for the moment as he continues to recover from a painful right shin contusion. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar figures to be ready to return soon, but that won’t be until he’s able to resume running again. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:17 pm

    • Back from IL
      The Red Sox activated Yoshida (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Yoshida has been sidelined since late April with a strained left thumb but recently was able to play in a couple rehab games with Triple-A Worcester, clearing the way for his return. He returns to a .275/.348/.388 slash line and will operate as Boston's primary designated hitter. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:56 am

    • Red Sox activate Masataka Yoshida off injured list
      Red Sox activated OF Masataka Yoshida off the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Yoshida ended up missing a little more than a month with his left thumb strain. The 30-year-old should see plenty of playing time in the Boston outfield now that he’s back on the roster, likely as the designated hitter. He’ll be the DH Tuesday against the Phillies and hit fifth. To make room for Yoshida on the roster, the Red Sox designated Garrett Cooper for assignment. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:51 am

    • Sheds crutches
      Tucker (lower leg) is no longer using crutches and remains hopeful for a Friday return, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: As Rome points out, Tucker has yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities, but the team is optimistic about his chances of being activated after missing the 10-day minimum. Houston should have a better idea of an exact return date for Tucker later in the week. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:10 pm

    • Kyle Tucker (shin) off crutches, aiming for Friday
      Kyle Tucker is off crutches as he deals with his right shin contusion, and the Astros believe there’s a chance he’ll return from the IL when eligible on Friday.

      Advice: No rehab stint here. Tucker hasn’t done any running yet, but he should need only one good day on the field before rejoining Houston’s lineup. Rotoworld Monday, 5:03 pm

    • Plays second rehab game
      Yoshida (thumb) was the designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.

      Advice: Yoshida served as Worcester's DH on back-to-back days to kick off a rehab assignment. Getting him time in the field is not as important as the plate appearances, as Yoshida is expected to be Boston's primary DH. He'll meet with the team's decision-makers Monday to evaluate his progression, per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe. The club hopes he can be activated later this week.
