EDGE Analysis

The injury explains why the lefty-hitting Yastrzemski finds himself on the bench versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Tyler Wells). Kapler downplayed any concern about the injury, and with the benefit of a team off day Monday, Yastrzemski could be ready to reclaim his regular role in center field when the Giants return to action Tuesday in Colorado.
