Mike Yastrzemski On The Bench Versus Southpaw

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants will play matchups here with left-hander Clayton Kershaw on the mound. That being said, Joc Pederson and Michael Conforto will join Yastrzemski on the bench for Saturday's game. Austin Slater, Tyler Fitzgerald and Luis Matos will cover the outfield for the Giants here.

Mike Yastrzemski Taking A Seat Wednesday Versus Lefty

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not in the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon versus the Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen. The lefty-swinging Yastrzemski hit leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk in his club's 3-1 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday night but will yield right field to youngster Luis Matos on Wednesday afternoon. It's been yet another productive season for the late-bloomer who is hitting .254 with 14 home runs, 51 runs, 39 RBI, and an .824 OPS across 89 games, production that grades out 23% above the league average, as per his 123 wRC+. Look for the 33-year-old to come into the contest when a right-handed reliever enters the game.

Mike Yastrzemski Activated And Starting Wednesday

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and optioned outfielder Luis Matos to the minors in a corresponding move. Yastrzemski is right back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, playing right field and batting sixth against Cincinnati Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Yaz didn't require a minor-league rehab assignment despite missing the last month with a left-hamstring strain, so fantasy managers may not want to expect too much of him right away. The 33-year-old is mostly an outfield option in NL-only fantasy leagues against right-handed pitching. On the season as a whole, he's only batting .233 (59-for-253) with 11 home runs, 32 RBI and 43 runs scored in 253 at-bats for the Gigantes.

Mike Yastrzemski Likely To Return Wednesday

It sounds as though San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) will return from the injured list on Wednesday. Yastrzemski is going to return to the big-league roster without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, and he's been out since late July with a left-hamstring strain, so the Giants may choose to ease him back into the outfield fold down the stretch. Fantasy managers shouldn't be itching to add him off the waiver wire, either, as he was hitting .140 (6-for-43) with a homer and five RBI in 16 games (12 starts) after the All-Star break. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter provides very little in deep fantasy leagues. He is hitting .233/.314/.439 with 11 home runs, 32 RBI and 43 runs scored on the year in his 253 at-bats for the Giants.

Mike Yastrzemski Suffers A Setback

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) suffered a setback with his hamstring injury while running the bases over the weekend, according to the team. Yastrzemski is going to give his hamstring another week of rest to see how it responds. The 32-year-old has been out with his hamstring ailment since late July and will now miss a little bit more of time. With Yaz still sidelined, the Gigantes recalled outfield prospect Wade Meckler, the team's No. 11 prospect per MLB Pipeline, and he's making his major-league debut on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays. When healthy, Yastrzemski is mostly an option for some power in deeper fantasy leagues. Before going on the IL, he was hitting .233 (59-for-253) with 11 homers, 32 RBI and 43 runs scored in 77 contests.

Mike Yastrzemski Closing In On Return

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) ran the bases and handled a full workout before Friday's contest versus the Texas Rangers. The 32-year-old will next take live batting practice on Saturday, which puts him on track for a return in the imminent future, per Giants manager Gabe Kapler. Yastrzemski has required three separate trips to the injured list this season due to a balky left hamstring strain with the most recent coming on July 31. The lefty-hitter was slashing an icy .132/.270/.283 with just one home run, five RBI, and five runs scored across his prior 21 games (64 plate appearances) since July 4. Fantasy managers might be able to find a better stash on waiver wires since Yaz doesn't tend to play every day, either.

Mike Yastrzemski Exits Early On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This is a bit concerning considering this is the third time that Yastrzemski has battled a hamstring issue this season. At the moment, it's uncertain how serious this injury is as the Giants likely pulled him out as a precaution. It's unknown if he'll require a trip to the injured list, so fantasy managers will have to check back for more information.

Mike Yastrzemski Sitting Tuesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is absent from Tuesday's lineup for the matchup against Tayler Scott and the Oakland Athletics. The 32-year-old is slashing .225/.305/.426 with 11 homers, 41 runs, 30 RBI, and one stolen base over 72 games. Luis Matos will take Yastrzemski's spot in center and bat second. The rookie 21-year-old rookie hasn't impressed too much through 33 games this season, as he's hitting .259 with one homer and three steals. Matos is a good option in dynasty leagues, but it's not a bad idea to leave him on the wire in redraft formats.

Mike Yastrzemski Activated From Injured List

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Monday, and he was immediately back in the team's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryan Woo, starting in right field and batting fifth in the lineup. The 32-year-old left-handed hitter went hitless in five at-bats (eight plate appearances) with four strikeouts in two minor-league rehab games for Triple-A Sacramento before being activated. Yaz should play pretty regularly in San Fran's outfield against right-handed pitching now that he's back. He was hitting .259 (51-for-197) with 10 homers, 12 doubles, a triple, 27 RBI and 37 runs scored in 55 games played before his injury.
