Yastrzemski (shoulder) will bat third while serving as the Giants' designated hitter in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski has been limited in the early part of Giants camp while he recovers from a left shoulder impingement, but manager Bob Melvin has said that he doesn't expect the health concern to affect Yastrzemski's readiness for Opening Day. The 33-year-old still looks like he'll require some additional time to finish up his throwing program, however, so he could draw a few starts at DH prior to playing the field. According to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com, Yastrzemski is scheduled to throw from 110 to 120 feet this week before the Giants provide another update regarding when he might be ready to man the outfield.

Yastrzemski could be limited for the first 7-to-10 days of Giants camp because of a left shoulder impingement, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yastrzemski is still able to play catch from 90 feet and isn't limited from a hitting perspective, so the injury doesn't seem like something for his fantasy managers to be overly concerned about. The 33-year-old is currently projected to serve as San Francisco's right fielder against right-handed pitching.

Yastrzemski avoided arbitration with the Giants on Friday with a one-year, $7.9 million contract, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old outfielder earned $6.1 million in 2023 while registering a .775 OPS with 15 home runs across 106 games for San Francisco. He had an .831 OPS against righties and should continue to fill a strong-side platoon role in 2024.
