| News | ||
| Masataka Yoshida went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Twins with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and one RBI. Chris Schommer Mon, May 25th | The Guardians optioned George Valera to Triple-A Columbus. Ari Koslow Thu, Apr 30th | |
| Masataka Yoshida went 3-for-4 with three RBI in the Red Sox 8-6 loss on Sunday against the Padres. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 6th | George Valera (calf) has been reinstated from the IL and will join the Guardians ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals. Nate Miller - FantasyPros Mon, Apr 13th | |
| The Red Sox have five outfielders competing for four spots, including designated hitter, and Yoshida returned from the World Baseball Classic — where he played for Team Japan — in the same standing as when he departed. The logjam remains unresolved heading into the final week of spring training. Bruno Mulé Thu, Mar 19th | The Guardians placed OF George Valera on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain. Ari Koslow Wed, Mar 25th | |
| Masataka Yoshida will be in the lineup on Friday and Saturday for the Red Sox. Ari Koslow Thu, Feb 19th | Valera played in a minor-league spring training game Monday, a sign that his calf recovery is progressing. He will nonetheless begin the 2026 season on the injured list. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 24th | |
| Masataka Yoshida will represent Japan in the World Baseball Classic. Ari Koslow Wed, Feb 4th | Valera had already resumed throwing and hitting earlier this week and added running to his activity Tuesday. The Guardians are hopeful he can return to game action within the next few days, though there is some question as to whether he'll be ready by Opening Day. Bruno Mulé Wed, Mar 18th | |
