Yastrzemski and the Giants agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $3.7 million deal to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski is entering his first year of arbitration in 2022 after three seasons as a regular in the San Francisco lineup. Though his batting average and on-base percentage took a steady dive in 2021 compared to the previous two years, Yastrzemski was able to maintain his slugging production (25 home runs) while relying on a heavy volume of plate appearances to finish with 75 runs, 71 RBI and four stolen bases. He may sit more frequently against left-handed pitching in 2022, but Yastrzemski should continue to find himself in a prominent spot in the lineup versus righties.

Yastrzemski was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies due to right knee soreness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a walk and a strikeout to begin Friday's contest, but he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the ninth inning. He's considered day-to-day, and Steven Duggar and Austin Slater could see increased playing time if the 31-year-old is forced to miss additional time.

EDGE Analysis
The outfielder is out of the lineup for the third day in a row, though he did make a pinch-hit appearance in each of the previous two games, which is a strong indication that he'll be available off the bench again Friday.
