PITTSBURGH -- - Boston Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida left Saturday's 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates with left hamstring tightness.
The 33-year-old Yoshida hit a double down the right-field line in the third inning, but had a noticeable limp as he neared second base. He immediately called to the dugout and was replaced by Anthony Seigler.
Yoshida said the last time he injured his hamstring while playing in Japan it cost him around a months worth of games. He did note, via translator, that the pain is in a different spot than it was for that injury.
He's set to undergo tests when the team returns to Boston.
Yoshida was batting .272 with five homers and 28 RBIs coming into Saturday's game. He's played the past four years for the Red Sox after coming over from Japan in 2023.
