Unlike just about everyone else the Yankees have imported this season, Kendrys Morales hasn’t provided the offense that had been hoped for when they picked him up off the scrap heap from Oakland. But he showed signs of a turnaround in Saturday’s 5-3 win over Boston.

He singled three times against the Red Sox after entering the game in a 2-for-32 slump and hitless in 15 at-bats.

Before the game, manager Aaron Boone said he was confident Morales would be fine.

“The numbers don’t reflect how [good] his at-bats have been,’’ Boone said. “If you really go back and look day in and day out, it’s been a lot of hard contact and lineouts. The walks have been in play and he’s putting the ball in play. I feel like it’s a matter of time before he finds some green grass with it. I still really like the threat.’’

Some peripheral numbers support Boone’s optimism, since Morales is hitting balls hard, but he’s been unproductive since beginning the season in Oakland — who designated him for assignment earlier this month.

“I’m continuing to do extra work to try to put together my timing,’’ Morales said through an interpreter. “Right now, I’m feeling more comfortable. I expect results to come soon.”

The Yankees traded for the switch-hitting Morales with the idea of playing him against right-handed pitching. Nevertheless, in 145 plate appearances from the left side this season, Morales went into Saturday with an OPS of just .538.

And in 52 plate appearances with the Yankees, Morales has just one extra-base hit.

Morales overcame a similarly sluggish beginning a year ago and is counting on a similar bounce-back in 2019. With Didi Gregorius expected to return from offseason Tommy John surgery rehab as soon as next week, the Yankees figure to have a bit of a roster crunch upcoming.

“That has been the story the last couple years,” Morales said of his bad first month or two. “I’ve been able to turn it around and feel better and I’m expecting the same thing.”
