Red Sox Injury Update: Rehabbing Pitchers and Masataka Yoshida’s Progress
As the New Year approaches, the Boston Red Sox are focusing on getting their injured players back on the field. The team has four rehabbing pitchers, including a new free agent signee, and outfielder Masataka Yoshida is also on the mend. In this update, we’ll take a closer look at the progress of each player and what to expect from them in the upcoming season.
Masataka Yoshida’s Shoulder Surgery
Masataka Yoshida underwent shoulder surgery in November, and his recovery is progressing as expected. The outfielder is expected to miss the start of Spring Training, but the Red Sox are hopeful that he’ll be ready to return to the field by the end of February. Yoshida’s injury has been a concern for the team, as he’s struggled to live up to his potential due to various injuries.
Yoshida’s shoulder surgery was a necessary step to address the underlying issues that have plagued him throughout his career. The Red Sox are taking a cautious approach to his recovery, ensuring that he’s fully healed before returning to the field. While it’s uncertain how Yoshida will perform once he returns, the team is optimistic that he’ll be able to contribute to the lineup.
Rehabbing Pitchers
The Red Sox have four rehabbing pitchers, including new free agent signee, Ryan Yarbrough. Yarbrough, who signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox in December, is recovering from a minor elbow procedure. The left-hander is expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training and will compete for a spot in the rotation.
In addition to Yarbrough, the Red Sox have three other pitchers rehabbing from injuries. Chris Sale, who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2020, is continuing his recovery and is expected to be ready for the start of the season. Sale’s progress has been slow, but the Red Sox are hopeful that he’ll be able to return to form in 2025.
Tanner Houck and Bryan Bello, two young pitchers who showed promise in 2024, are also rehabbing from injuries. Houck underwent a minor procedure on his elbow, while Bello is recovering from a shoulder injury. Both pitchers are expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training and will compete for spots in the rotation.
What to Expect in 2025
The Red Sox are taking a cautious approach to the upcoming season, ensuring that their injured players are fully healed before returning to the field. While it’s uncertain how Yoshida and the rehabbing pitchers will perform, the team is optimistic that they’ll be able to contribute to the lineup and rotation.
The Red Sox have made several moves in the offseason to strengthen their pitching staff, including the signing of Yarbrough. The team is also exploring other options, including potentially trading for Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery.
As the New Year approaches, the Red Sox are focused on getting their injured players back on the field and preparing for the upcoming season. With a mix of veteran players and young talent, the team is hopeful that they’ll be able to compete for a playoff spot in 2025.
