Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski's fourth-inning blast proved to be all the Giants needed in this contest. Prior to Friday, he was in a 2-for-23 slump over his previous eight games. The outfielder is at 15 homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases, 23 doubles and a .245/.335/.468 slash line through 98 games this season. He continues to be one of the Giants' few near-everyday players when healthy.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The steal was Yastrzemski's second of the season. He's never had more than five in a campaign, and it makes sense that he's been reluctant to run after a year plagued by hamstring injuries. The outfielder has struggled lately, going 3-for-20 (.150) over his last six games, dropping his season average to .247. He's added a .797 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI and 52 runs scored across 94 contests.

EDGE Analysis
The Giants don't have a single lefty bat (switch hitter Patrick Bailey notwithstanding) in there against southpaw Logan Allen. Yastrzemski is 11-for-19 with two homers over his last six games.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski extended his hitting streak to five games, a span in which he's gone 10-for-16 (.625) with six extra-base hits and five RBI. The outfielder opened the scoring with his first-inning solo shot on Gavin Williams' second pitch of the game. Yastrzemski is up to 14 homers, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored, one stolen bases, 22 doubles and a .254/.338/.486 slash line through 88 games this season.

Yastrzemski went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski has gone 10-for-23 (.435) over his last eight games. The outfielder was productive from atop the order Saturday, a spot that's typically been occupied by LaMonte Wade when the Giants are facing a right-handed pitcher. For the season, Yastrzemski has a .248/.330/.468 slash line, 13 home runs, 38 RBI, 50 runs scored, 20 doubles and a stolen base over 86 contests.

Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski will play against lefties more often than the Giants' other left-handed hitting regular, but he'll begin this one on the bench versus southpaw Jordan Wicks. Luis Matos, Austin Slater and Mitch Haniger will form an all right-handed hitting outfield.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two runs and two RBI in a 7-2 victory versus the Padres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski knocked in a run with a single in the third inning and added a solo shot in the fifth. This was just his second game back following a month-long absence due to a hamstring injury. Yastrzemski drew a pair of walks Wednesday in his return and has reached base five times in nine plate appearances since being activated off the IL.

The Giants activated Yastrzemski (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start in right field and bat sixth in the Giants' series finale with the Reds, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski has been on the shelf for the last month with a strained left hamstring, but he's rejoined the Giants after skipping a rehab assignment. He'll get regular looks in the outfield, especially against right-handed pitching. Outfielder Luis Matos was sent down to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.
