Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Michael Conforto and LaMonte Wade while the White Sox send southpaw Garrett Crochet to the hill for the series finale. The Giants haven't been as proactively shielding Yastrzemski from left-handers as they have with Conforto and Wade; Yastrzemski was included in the lineup in each of the club's previous five matchups with southpaw starters or bulk relievers.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski's steal was his third of the year and first since July 24. The outfielder has hit safely in six of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's up to a .246/.312/.434 slash line with nine home runs, 38 RBI and 39 runs scored across 101 contests, though he's also struggled to a 27.1 percent strikeout rate that continues to limit his upside.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI triple and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
While not known to be particularly speedy -- he has just two stolen bases and ranks in the 43rd percentile for sprint speed, per Statcast -- Yastrzemski is up to nine triples this year. He's gone 13-for-43 (.302) with five extra-base hits, including a trio of three-baggers, over his last 13 games. For the season, the outfielder is slashing .248/.318/.446 with nine homers, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored and 10 doubles over 96 contests, playing primarily in a strong-side platoon role in right field.

Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers. He also drew a walk and was hit by a pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski walked in his first trip to the plate before adding an RBI single and a steal in the fourth to put the Giants up 2-1. He drove in another run in the eighth and went on to reach four times in the contest, increasing his average to .326 (15-for-46) in July. It marked the outfielder's fifth multi-hit performance this month and fourth in his last 10 games, while the stolen base was just his second of the season.

Yastrzemski went 3-for-3 with a triple, two doubles and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski's triple was the decisive play, as it turned into a Little League home run when he scored on a throwing error by Brooks Lee. Neither power nor speed have been notable for Yastrzemski this year, though this was his third multi-hit effort in his last four games. The outfielder is slashing .241/.316/.436 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 29 runs scored, nine doubles, five triples and one stolen base across 78 contests.

EDGE Analysis

Yastrzemski is slashing .225/.302/.407 with eight home runs and a 28.8 percent strikeout rate.

Yastrzemski is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Guardians.

Yastrzemski (elbow) is batting seventh and playing right field Friday against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski was initially left out of the Giants lineup Friday, but a revised version of the starting nine has Yastrzemski in right field. The 33-year-old exited Thursday's game against Atlanta after being hit by a pitch, but he won't have to miss any time due to the injury.
