Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in a 4-2 win against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski gave San Francisco an early lead with his first-inning blast off Los Angeles starter Julio Urias though he was held at bay in his other three at-bats. The late bloomer has now connected on four long balls in his last six games to bring his season total to 16, however his .236/.332/.493 slash line is a step back from last season's breakout marks.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right fielder drilled a 398-foot shot with a runner aboard in the fifth inning to give the Giants what looked to be a sturdy five-run lead. The homer was Yastrzemski's 15th of the campaign, and he is on pace to easily surpass his current career high of 21 long balls set in 2019. Though he is batting only .236 this season, Yastrzemski has complemented the homer total with 20 doubles, 47 runs and 40 RBI.

Yastrzemski went 0-for-5 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski's only time reaching base was due to a fielder's choice and he ended up swiping second base before the inning concluded. The 30-year-old has put up a pair of two-hit performances as well as a pair of goose eggs at the plate in four games since the All-Star break. For the year, he's slashing .235/.334/.478 with 14 homers, 38 RBI, 46 runs scored and a 34:67 BB:K over 314 plate appearances. He's on pace for his lowest batting average since entering the big leagues in 2019, largely in part because of his .260 BABIP.

Yastrzemski went 3-for-5 with an RBI and scored twice in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder scored San Francisco's first run of the game in the third inning. Later, he brought the Giants within two via a run-scoring single in the eighth, and he subsequently came around to score the team's final run. Yastrzemski's three-hit effort was his first this season. Despite the productive performance, he is still slashing a disappointing .231/.331/.475 overall.

Yastrzemski (shin) is expected to rejoin the Giants lineup in Thursday's series opener in Arizona, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski sustained a bruised right shin in Monday's loss to the Dodgers that left him unavailable for Tuesday's series finale, but he looks like he'll be ready to play coming out of Wednesday's off day. The 30-year-old's expected return is welcome news after the Giants lost another outfielder (Mike Tauchman) to a knee injury in Tuesday's 3-1 loss.
