PITTSBURGH — Red Sox' designated hitter Masataka Yoshida suffered a strained left hamstring Saturday night and was forced to leave the team's game with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After the game, a 4-0 shutout win over the Pirates, Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said the team was unsure of the severity of the injury, but added: "I think he's going to be down for some time."
Yoshida said he felt some pain as he approached second base. He said he had experienced a hamstring strain while playing in ****** an and required him to miss "about a month."
"I haven't done any testing so we'll figure it out," he said.
With Nick Sogard at first and one out in the top of the third inning, Yoshida, batting leadoff, pulled a double into the right field corner. But as Yoshida approached second base, he seemed to stutter step and slid into the bag awkwardly.
