Yastrzemski went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win in 11 innings over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski's second long ball in as many days provided some extra insurance for the Giants' 11th-inning lead. The outfielder is up to four long balls on the year, and he's yet to have a hitless stretch of two games. That consistency is valuable, as the Giants navigate a number of injuries to outfielders, including Mitch Haniger (oblique), Austin Slater (hamstring) and Joc Pederson (wrist). Yastrzemski is slashing .239/.271/.478 through 17 contests.

Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Kris Bubic toeing the rubber for the Royals, Yastrzemski will be one of several lefty-hitting Giants regulars that will take a seat in the series finale. Bryce Johnson will replace Yastrzemski in center field and will bat ninth.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 16-6 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was able to contribute in the Giants' five-homer barrage, going deep in the fifth inning off White Sox starter Lance Lynn. Through six games this season, Yastrzemski is hitting .240 with two homers, three doubles, five RBI and six runs scored across 27 plate appearances. He's enjoyed an everyday role so far, though it's important to note the Giants haven't faced a left-handed starter yet.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer, two RBI and three runs scored along with two walks in Monday's victory over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
A big game for Yastrzemski on a day where the Giants were able to put across a dozen runs against the ineffective White Sox pitching staff. His homer came in the fifth inning against Michael Kopech -- one of five homers Kopech allowed -- to extend the San Francisco lead to 6-0. That homer along with an RBI double give the outfielder three RBI over the first four games, and he's slashed .357/.438/.786 over those contests.

Yastrzemski (knee) is taking a day or two off as a precaution, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to right knee soreness, but the outfielder tells Slusser he's unconcerned about his status going forward. The 32-year-old is expected to be a regular against right-handed pitching in 2023, and the Giants aren't going to take any risks in the early part of the exhibition season.

Yastrzemski was scratched from the Giants' Cactus League lineup Tuesday due to right knee soreness, Evan Webeck of the San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's believed to be a minor issue. Yaztrzemski had been scheduled to start in center field and bat third against the Padres, but now it'll be Bryce Johnson in center and hitting seventh, with Isan Diaz moving up to the No. 3 spot in the Giants' batting order.

Yastrzemski agreed to a one-year, $6.1 million contract with the Giants on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski's performance has slipped over the past couple years since his breakout in 2019-20, though he was still right around league average by wRC+ last season. His struggles against lefties really dragged him down, so Yastrzemski may be shielded from southpaws a bit more in 2023. Regardless he should still be in the lineup more often than not.
