EDGE Analysis

Yastrzemski is still battling some soreness in his hand after being struck by a pitch on the last day of spring training, so the Giants will hold him out as a precaution. Austin Slater will shift to right field as a result. Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Yastremski will be available to hit off the bench if needed.
