EDGE Analysis

Dropped to ninth in the order after a 3-for-25 skid in his previous eight games, Yastrzemski delivered one of five hits and the lone run for San Francisco in the loss. The outfielder hasn't quite had it at the plate throughout 2021, slashing .219/.308/.454 with 19 homers, 48 RBI, 59 runs scored and three stolen bases. It's unclear how long he'll remain near the bottom of the lineup -- at this point, he's only playing the strong side of a platoon as Austin Slater typically starts in center field versus southpaws.

He's added 18 home runs, 47 RBI, 58 runs scored and three triples while slashing .223/.311/.458 in 402 plate appearances.
