Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski will be one of three lefty-hitting regulars that will head to the bench with southpaw Tarik Skubal taking the hill for Detroit. Along with Yastrzemski, second baseman Brett Wisely and designated hitter Joc Pederson will also take a seat.

Yastrzemski went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
While stolen bases have been up around the majors, Yastrzemski hasn't been one to run more. This was his first successful theft (in three attempts) through 70 contests, though he's also been hampered by a couple of hamstring injuries during the campaign. The outfielder has also endured a brutal slump at the plate in July, hitting just .095 (4-for-42) over 15 contests this month, though he has drawn nine walks. He's slashing .230/.311/.435 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and 41 runs scored overall.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski opened the scoring in the second inning, though Pittsburgh's Henry Davis answered in the bottom of the frame. After his return from the injured list July 3, Yastrzemski has been eased back into action in a part-time role, though it's not a clear platoon situation. The Giants are also working to balance playing time for rookie Luis Matos in center field, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Yastrzemski play there against right-handed pitchers and in right field versus southpaws.

Yastrzemski is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Austin Slater, Luis Matos and Michael Conforto will start across the outfield for the Giants with left-hander Tommy Milone set to toe the slab for Seattle. Yastrzemski carries a .635 OPS in 51 plate appearances this year versus lefties, compared to an .859 OPS in 174 plate appearances against righties.

Yastrzemski (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski had a near-minimum stay on the injured list while working through hamstring inflammation. The outfielder played the full game in right field, so he looks good to handle at least a strong-side platoon role going forward. He's slashing .260/.327/.480 with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases over 56 contests. Yastrzemski has hit safely in five straight games dating back to before his injury.

Yastrzemski (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski finished his brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento over the weekend and will be ready to go Monday evening for the first game of the series. He was slashing .250/.333/.518 with four homers, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored through 17 June contests before going down with the hamstring injury.

Yastrzemski (hamstring) will play two games with Triple-A Sacramento and is expected to be activated from the injured list Monday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site, Yastrzemski will serve as the designated hitter Saturday with Sacramento and is hoping to get three or four at-bats. He's also expected to play Sunday, before returning to the big-league club a day later.

Yastrzemski (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list Sunday or Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monday seems more likely given that the Giants will be on the road against the Mets this weekend before returning home to face the visiting Mariners. Yastrzemski is not currently traveling with the team but has made steady progress in his recovery from the left hamstring issue that forced him to the IL last week.

Yastrzemski (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Giants on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was reportedly feeling better Thursday, but when he tried to test the hamstring before Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks. Isan Diaz was recalled from Triple-A in the corresponding move, and Yastrzemski will be out for at least a week-plus while he recovers. Blake Sabol will likely get the majority of the reps in the outfield with Yastrzemski out of action.

Yastrzemski (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup against Arizona on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski will miss at least one more game as he deals with inflammation in his left hamstring. Blake Sabol will get the start in left field while Yastrzemski is on the mend.
