The Boston Red Sox officially will be without Masataka Yoshida after the veteran suffered a hamstring injury against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Boston is placing Yoshida on the injured list and calling up utility player Mickey Gasper from Triple-A Worcester to take his roster spot, according to The Boston Globe's Alex Speier.
Yoshida suffered a left hamstring strain while running out a double during the third inning of Saturday's 4-0 win at PNC Park. He reached second base but stumbled as he approached the bag and immediately grabbed the back of his left leg.
The 33-year-old was able to walk off the field, but Boston quickly determined that he would require time on the injured list. Yoshida also revealed that his only previous hamstring injury, which occurred while he was playing in ******* an, sidelined him for approximately one month. That does not guarantee an identical recovery timeline, but it creates concern that he could remain unavailable until September.
