The Boston Red Sox reinstated designated hitter Masataka Yoshida from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, while veteran first baseman Garrett Cooper was designated for assignment.
Yoshida, 30, had been sidelined since April 28 with a left thumb strain. He was in the lineup as the DH on Tuesday, batting fifth against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies.
Yoshida batted .275 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 24 games before the injury. He was 1-for-7 with two runs in a pair of rehab games at Triple-A Worcester.
