Alex Cora laid out a rough timeline for Masataka Yoshida's return to the Red Sox, including some insight into his potential role.

Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida reached base three times for Double-A Portland on Saturday in his fourth game of his rehab assignment. Yoshida — who is returning from an offseason right shoulder labral repair — went 2-for-3 with two singles, one walk and two RBIs in Portland’s 4-2 loss to New Hampshire.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora announces that Masataka Yoshida is set to be activated off the injured list ahead of the All-Star break, during the upcoming homestand.
