MassLive’s Chris Cotillo reported that the “Red Sox are planning to get Yoshida some ‘light work’ pregame at first base during his rehab assignment.” The team is not switching his position and still views Yoshida as an outfielder or designated hitter. Still, while he’s with Worcester, they are seeing how he responds to the new position to see if it gives him added versatility. Considering Yoshida is just 5'8" and has not played first base before, we would imagine it’s a long shot that he’d get into a game at the position.

Story hadn’t had a four-hit game since Aug. 13, 2023. He’s 13-for-24 with two homers and 10 RBI in his last six games, raising his OPS to .697. He was at .591 on this day a month ago, and he hasn’t been over .700 since May 3. He’s also now 14-for-14 stealing bases. Byron Buxton, at 15-for-15, is the only other player with as many steals and zero failures.

It was Giolito’s first time pitching into the eighth since Aug. 9, 2021. Since giving up seven runs in 1 2/3 innings on June 4, taking his ERA to 6.42, he’s allowed a total of three earned runs over 32 2/3 innings in five starts. He’s now 5-1 with a 3.66 ERA through 12 starts, and he looks like a nice option next week in a home start against the Rockies.

Steer’s double was a liner over the third baseman’s head that hit the chalk down the left field line, giving the Reds a 5-3 lead in a game they’d win 9-6. Steer is 18-for-41 with four homers and 12 RBI in his last 11 games, raising his OPS from .631 to .726.

The double missed being a homer by inches, bouncing off the top of the wall in right-center. Schwarber also had a 114-mph lineout to right today. He has 60 RBI this season, putting him on pace to finish with 110. That would overtake his career high of 104 from both 2023 and ’24. Of course, it helps that he’s not batting leadoff this year.
