Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida leaves game vs. Pirates with left hamstring tightness

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida departed Saturday's match against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to left hamstring tightness.

Prior to the game, Yoshida had a .272 batting average, with five home runs and 28 RBIs.

The 33-year-old Japanese native has been with the Red Sox for the past four seasons after transferring from Japan in 2023.
