Yu Chang's go-ahead single | 04/15/2023 Yu Chang ropes a go-ahead, two-run single to left field to give the Red Sox an 8-7 lead in the bottom of the 8th inning

APRIL 16, 2023 • MLB.COM

Knocks in four Chang went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a two-run single in Saturday's 9-7 victory over the Angels.

Impact Chang hit a go-ahead, two-run blast in the fourth to give Boston a 5-4 advantage, and after the bullpen faltered, Chang responded with another go-ahead knock in the eighth -- a two-run single that gave the Red Sox a 8-7 lead. The two clutch hits were Chang's first knocks of the season, and he's starting to get more consistent playing time after operating exclusively as a reserve to start the season.

Makes Opening Day roster Chang clinched a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster Monday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact While Boston could look outside the organization to fill out its bench ranks prior to Thursday's season opener versus Orioles, at least for the time being, Chang's spot is secure after the Red Sox optioned Bobby Dalbec -- his primary competition for a utility-infield role -- to Triple-A Worcester on Monday. The righty-hitting Chang could be a candidate to make frequent starts against left-handed pitching; on those occasions, he and Justin Turner would likely fill out the first base and designated hitter spots while the lefty-hitting Triston Casas sits out.

On roster bubble Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that Chang is expected to play Monday against Atlanta, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Cora notes that Chang is moving well, and that he looks the same physically after spending time away from the Red Sox for the World Baseball Classic and then dealing a visa issue, adding that they have no questions with him defensively. "It's just a matter of where we're at (roster-wise) in the upcoming days," Cora said. Chang is on the roster bubble for Boston, and the Red Sox likely won't make a decision until right before Opening Day.

Yu Chang wins Pool A MVP | 03/12/2023 Yu Chang wins Pool A MVP after hitting eight RBIs and two home runs, including an epic grand slam in the World Baseball Classic

MARCH 23, 2023 • MLB.COM

Dealing with visa issues Chang is contending with visa issues and isn't scheduled to report back to Red Sox camp until Thursday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Chang is working to rejoin Boston after he recently took home MVP honors for Pool A of the World Baseball Classic following a four-game stint with Chinese Taipei in which he went 7-for-16 with four extra-base hits and eight RBI. Assuming his arrival at camp isn't delayed any further than the latter half this week, Chang should remain in the mix to win a spot on the Red Sox's Opening Day roster as a reserve infielder. Bobby Dalbec likely represents his main competition for the final roster berth.

Red Sox sign Yu Chang to major league contract, place Trevor Story on 60-day IL Yu Chang has signed a major league contract with the Red Sox.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • MASSLIVE.COM

Re-signs with Red Sox Chang signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox on Thursday.

Impact The Red Sox non-tendered Chang earlier this offseason but have ultimately decided to bring him back as infield depth. With Trevor Story (elbow) out indefinitely and Adalberto Mondesi's (knee) timeline cloudy, it's a sensible move. Chang has a career .639 OPS over parts of four major-league seasons.

Non-tendered by Boston The Red Sox declined to tender Chang a contract for 2023, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Chang has bounced between Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Boston just within the past six months, and he's now a free agent. The 27-year-old is a short-side platoon infielder with marginal power and negligible speed.

Back on bench Chang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Chang went 1-for-8 with a double, a walk and a run while starting in three of the past four games, but he'll likely fill a short-side platoon role in the Boston infield as the season winds down.
