Yastrzemski, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski said he heard a pop when he tweaked his hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Padres, so the fact that his MRI revealed just a Grade 1 strain qualifies as a pleasant surprise. The injury generally entails a 2-to-4-week recovery, giving Yastrzemski a good shot to make it back before the end of the month.

The Giants placed Yastrzemski (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski felt a pop in his left hamstring while trying to make a play in the outfield during Sunday's loss to the Padres. The severity of his hamstring injury hasn't been revealed, but Yastrzemski will now be out of commission for at least the next week and a half. Austin Slater and Brett Wisely are expected to see most of the action in center field while Yastrzemski is on the mend.

Yastrzemski will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his left hamstring strain but will likely miss time, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski felt a pop in his hamstring while attempting to field a ball in center field in the bottom of the eighth inning during Sunday's game against the Padres. He limped off the field following the play and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury. Austin Slater will likely see increased playing time until Yastrzemski is cleared to return, while Blake Wisely could remain with the club if Yastrzemski heads to the injured list.

Yastrzemski was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain after exiting Sunday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski limped off the field after making a diving attempt in center field in the bottom of the eighth inning Sunday, and it's unclear whether his injury will force him to miss additional time. If he's sidelined, Austin Slater and Brett Wisely would be candidates to see increased at-bats.

Yastrzemski exited Sunday's game against the Padres in the bottom of the eighth inning due to an apparent leg injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski remained in the game after crashing into the wall earlier Sunday, but he limped off the field after making a diving attempt in center field in the bottom of the eighth. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI prior to his departure, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener in Houston.

Yastrzemski (side) is back in the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was a late scratch from Wednesday's game due to tightness in his left side, but it's clearly nothing too concerning. He'll play center field and bat sixth in Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas.

Yastrzemski was scratched from Wednesday's game against the Cardinals due to tightness on his left side, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Yastrzemski's injury is unknown, but it's apparently enough to keep him out of Wednesday's contest. LaMonte Wade will take his place in right field and bat sixth.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski got his night going with a solo blast in the fourth inning off of Jake Woodford to put the Giants ahead 2-1. He then added an RBI double against Ryan Helsley in the ninth and came around to score on Blake Sabol's walk-off homer. Yastrzemski now has nine hits over his last five games and is slashing a healthy .291/.315/.535 with five long balls, 13 RBI, 15 runs and a 3:21 BB:K over 89 plate appearances.

Yastrzemski will be on the bench Saturday against the Mets, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski will sit against southpaw David Peterson. He's had more than a platoon role thus far this season, starting against six out of eight lefties, but it's possible his playing time slips when potential platoon partner Austin Slater (hamstring) returns from the injured list. For now, it's Heliot Ramos who takes over in center field Saturday.

Yastrzemski went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski is 8-for-26 (.308) with five RBI over his last six games. The outfielder was able to contribute an RBI single in the Giants' fifth-inning rally Thursday, but they didn't score outside of that frame. Yastrzemski is up to a .268/.297/.493 slash line with four home runs, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and four doubles through 74 plate appearances. He's also been caught stealing twice without successfully stealing a base so far.
