Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Yastrzemski's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 12, though he picked up his second stolen base in his last three games. He's gone just 3-for-36 with no extra-base hits in his last 11 contests, lowering his slash line to .211/.310/.377 with 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 54 runs scored and a career-high five steals through 111 games this year.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 extra-innings win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski singled and stole second base in the seventh inning before scoring on an Evan Longoria grand slam. In the 11th, Yastrzemski was the initial runner and scored on a Wilmer Flores sacrifice fly, which stood as the winning run. Over his previous eight games, Yastrzemski was mired in an 0-for-26 slump, during which he posted a 4:12 BB:K. He's down to a .208/.306/.376 slash line with 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 53 runs scored and four steals through 109 contests, and it doesn't appear the slump has cost him much playing time -- he's still manager Gave Kapler's preferred center fielder versus right-handed pitchers.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three total RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski has hit safely in four of his last six games, adding three homers and two doubles while going 6-for-22 (.273) in that span. The outfielder raised his slash line to .225/.321/.409 with 12 long balls, 44 RBI, 49 runs scored, three stolen bases and 22 doubles through 100 contests this year. He's started seven games in a row, so it appears he's back to near-everyday playing time after overcoming a cold end to July.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski had gone 15 contests since his last homer or multi-hit effort. He ended both droughts Sunday, taking A's starter Adrian Martinez deep in the third inning before tacking on another long ball against reliever Austin Pruitt in the eighth. Prior to the All-Star break, Yastrzemski was seeing close to an everyday role, but he's slipped into a platoon role again amid his slump. The outfielder is slashing .225/.319/.402 with 11 homers, 41 RBI, 46 runs scored and three stolen bases through 360 plate appearances. He should continue to play versus most right-handed pitchers, though the Giants' lefty-heavy outfield means he'll also draw in versus the occasional southpaw.

EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski started the last three games and went 1-for-9 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts. Although Thursday's start came against a left-handed pitcher, he'll get a day off with southpaw Drew Smyly on the mound for the Cubs on Saturday. Austin Slater is starting in center field and batting second.
