Yastrzemski (shin) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski suffered a bruised right shin when he fouled a pitch off himself Monday and will be sidelined for at least one game. The 30-year-old will also have Wednesday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before missing additional time, so it's not a major surprise to see the Giants expressing caution. Mike Tauchman will start in right field Tuesday in his place.

Yastrzemski was diagnosed with a right shin contusion and is considered day-to-day after he exited Monday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers in the seventh inning, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was in pain after he fouled a ball off himself in the top of the seventh, but he was able to stay in the game and completed the at-bat by striking out swinging. The Giants pulled him from the contest in the next half inning, with Mike Tauchman stepping in for Yastrzemski in right field. Fortunately for Yastrzemski, X-rays conducted after the game cleared him of structural damage, but he won't be a lock to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's series finale.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 13-6 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He took Aaron Nola deep in the first inning, staking the Giants to a 2-1 lead, but San Francisco's offense simply couldn't keep pace. It's Yastrzemski's second long ball in nine games since returning from a thumb injury, a stretch during which he's batting .290 (9-for-31), but on the season the 30-year-old has a .233/.341/.481 slash line with eight homers and 24 RBI through 54 contests.

Yastrzemski (thumb) was activated from the injured list Saturday. He will play in right field and bat second in the first game of a doubleheader versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list while dealing with a sprained thumb. He was appointed the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader, but it's a given he'll remain on the roster going forward as a near-everyday option in right field.
