Mike Yastrzemski's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Yastrzemski was removed from Thursday's contest after getting hit by a pitch in the elbow. It originally sounded like Yastrzemski was going to sit out of Friday's game but he's now a late addition to the lineup. The 33-year-old will bat seventh and cover right field versus right-hander Tanner Bibee on Friday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups ahead of first pitch.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) is out of the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Cleveland Guardians. Yastrzemski was hit by a pitch on his elbow in the Fourth of July game on Thursday. However, X-rays came back negative, so the 33-year-old left-handed hitter should be considered day-to-day for now. Check back to see if he rejoins the starting lineup of the second game of the series on Saturday. With Yaz sidelined, Michael Conforto, Heliot Ramos and Luis Matos will start across the outfield for the Giants from left to right, respectively, against Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee. When healthy, Yastrzemski can provide modest power for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues against right-handed pitching. He's currently sporting a .722 OPS with seven homers and 28 RBI in 195 at-bats on the year.

The San Francisco Giants reinstated outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Landen Roupp to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Yastrzemski is right back into San Fran's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez, playing right field and batting eighth in the order. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter has been out since June 22 with an oblique strain and will be hoping to pick up where he left off at the plate before his injury. On the season as a whole, though, Yaz hasn't been much to look at in fantasy with a .224/.304/.406 slash line with seven home runs, 28 RBI and 26 runs scored in a platoon role in the Giants' outfield against right-handed pitching.
