May 10, 2024
Yoshida recently received a third opinion on his strained left thumb and said Friday that the injury wouldn't require surgery, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Yoshida will be able to treat his injury with rest and rehab, he's still not especially close to returning to action after landing on the 10-day injured list May 1. Manager Alex Cora said Yoshida is still weeks away from even swinging a bat, per Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald.
