Masataka Yoshida - Coming off bench Sunday Yoshida is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Though the lefty-hitting Yoshida will be on the bench for the second straight game while the Dodgers open the game with left-hander Caleb Ferguson on the mound, the rookie outfielder could be an early appearance off the bench. Right-hander Gavin Stone is expected to take over once Ferguson exits the contest, at which point Yoshida could be called upon to replace Justin Turner at designated hitter or Adam Duvall in left field.

Alex Verdugo - Homers in third straight game Verdugo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Dodgers.

Impact The lefty outfielder remained hot Saturday, leading off the bottom of the first inning with a homer off Julio Urias. Over Verdugo's last six games, he is 13-for-29 with three homers, two doubles, five RBI, and six runs. The 27-year-old now has 12 home runs on the season, surpassing last year's total and leaving him one shy of his career-high of 13, which he accomplished in 2021.

James Paxton - Another short outing Paxton did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Impact The veteran lefty allowed individual runs in the first and fourth innings before a Max Muncy two-run homer chased Paxton from the game with one out in the fifth. This marks back-to-back starts in which he has failed to complete five innings, causing his second-half ERA to rise to 5.82 alongside a 1.66 WHIP across 38.2 innings since the All-Star break. Paxton is currently projected to make a road start against the Royals next week.
