Masataka Yoshida - Homers off bench Monday Yoshida went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in a loss to Houston on Monday.
Impact Yoshida began the game on the bench but pinch hit for Connor Wong in the sixth inning. The 31-year-old came through with a big knock, swatting a two-run homer to left field to give Boston a two-run lead. The long ball also extended Yoshida's hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting an absurd .632 (12-for-19) with two homers, six RBI, six runs and four walks.

Tanner Houck - Punches out eight in quality start Houck allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over six innings in a no-decision against Houston on Monday.
Impact Houck held the Astros scoreless until the fourth inning, when he allowed a pair of runs (one of which was unearned). The right-hander surrendered another run in the sixth but was able to complete that frame for his third consecutive quality start. Houck departed in line for the win, but a late Astros rally stuck him with a no-decision. He hasn't picked up a victory in any of his past six outings despite notching four quality starts in that span.

Liam Hendriks - Shifting rehab to Double-A Hendriks (elbow) is expected to have his rehab assignment transferred to Double-A Portland in the coming days, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact Hendriks tossed a scoreless inning out of the bullpen with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday and he will now shift to face Double-A competition for his next few outings. The right-hander reported that he felt good after his first appearance and he'll continue to build up towards a potential return to the major-league bullpen in early September.

Trevor Story - Continuing to ramp up Story (shoulder) is continuing to make progress in his rehab, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact While Cotillo fails to provide much substance on the progress of Story's rehab, it's positive news that the veteran shortstop hasn't suffered any setbacks to this point. It remains a mystery as to whether the 31-year-old will be cleared for action down the stretch of the 2024 season, though he'd likely need to see reps against live pitching soon to have a chance at a return this year.
