The Red Sox appear set to activate Bregman (quad) without the third baseman going on a minor league rehab stint. Yoshida (shoulder) played in five rehab games.

Yoshida entering the mix gives Alex Cora a "luxury" of lineup options. The post Masataka Yoshida set to return from injury during Red Sox homestand appeared first on Boston.com.

Whenever Yoshida does return, he’ll re-join a crowded outfield/designated hitter mix in Boston. Cora envisions Yoshida and lefty-masher Rob Refsnyder platooning at the DH position while also continuing to mix both players into the outfield alongside Wilyer Abreu, Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela.
