Yastrzemski will sit Tuesday against Philadelphia, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski has had more than a platoon role this season, but when he does hit the bench, it usually comes against lefties like Tuesday's starter, Ranger Suarez. Yastrzemski will get the day off as Stuart Fairchild starts in center field and Heliot Ramos starts in right.

Yastrzemski went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski hit fifth Tuesday, and he's started to bounce around the order as the Giants approach full health. The outfielder turned in arguably his most productive game of the year with his first multi-hit effort since May 7. It was his first game with multiple extra-base hits of the year. The 31-year-old outfielder has been solid with a .281/.371/.438 slash line, three home runs, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and five doubles through 105 plate appearances this season.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a sacrifice fly in Monday's 7-6 victory against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning to give San Francisco a two-run lead, but Colorado tied the score in the bottom of that frame. The outfielder then swatted a solo homer in the top of the ninth inning, and that held up as the winning run when Camilo Doval closed out the Rockies in the home half of the frame. Yastrzemski's long ball was just his third of the season after he left the yard a career-high 25 times in 2021.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two walks in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski put the Giants ahead for the first time with a sacrifice fly to plate Luis Gonzalez in the second inning. In the sixth, Yastrzemski took Cardinals reliever Genesis Cabrera yard for what was the game-winning hit. Through five games in May, Yastrzemski is 6-for-16 with three RBI and two runs scored. The outfielder is up to a .295/.371/.410 slash line with two homers, six RBI and eight runs scored in 19 contests overall.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was sidelined from April 24 to May 4 on the COVID-19 injured list, but it hasn't slowed him down at the plate. He's 10-for-23 (.435) across his last six contests. The outfielder should be expected to hit leadoff at least against most right-handed pitchers. He's slashing .283/.356/.358 with a home run, four RBI, six runs scored and a double in 59 plate appearances this season. With Yastrzemski and Joc Pederson (groin) both in the lineup again, Austin Slater's playing time is likely to see a steep decline.

EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old has been sidelined since testing positive for COVID-19 on April 24, and he'll rejoin the lineup Wednesday after clearing all the necessary protocols. Prior to the absence, Yastrzemski generated a .267/.340/.356 slash line with one home run, three RBI and six runs in 14 games.
