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

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.

The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 21) on Saturday with a left-oblique strain and recalled infielder David Villar and outfielder Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. Yastrzemski was removed from Thursday's contest with his oblique injury and he didn't play on Friday before landing on the IL on Saturday. The 33-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder will now likely miss more than the 10 days on the IL with his injury, and we may not see him again until after the All-Star break in mid-July. With Yaz now out, expect Austin Slater to pick up the most playing time in the outfield in the Bay Area. Yastrzemski is really only useful in deeper fantasy leagues against right-handed pitching. He hits the shelf with a .224/.304/.406 slash line with seven homers and 28 RBI in 192 at-bats this year.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (side) left Thursday's game at Rickwood Field against the St. Louis Cardinals due to a side injury. Yastrzemski exited the contest in the fourth inning, and he was replaced in the lineup by Austin Slater. Fantasy managers should deem Yastrzemski day-to-day until a more specific diagnosis is revealed, but the outfielder does have a day off on Friday to recuperate before this series with the Cardinals resumes on Saturday in St. Louis. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter hasn't made a big impact for the Giants since bursting onto the scene back in 2019 and 2020, slashing just .224/.304/.406 with 17 extra-base hits, 28 RBI, 43 runs scored, and one stolen base over 192 at-bats in 2024. Slater would see an uptick in ABs if Yastrzemski is forced to miss additional action.

The San Francisco Giants plated five runs in the top of the tenth inning Saturday in a 7-2 win against the New York Mets. A bases-loaded clearing triple by veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski was the big blow in the inning. Yastrzemski is hitting .224 with five home runs, 18 RBI, and 16 runs scored in 134 plate appearances this year. Interestingly, beleaguered closer Edwin Diaz pitched the ninth inning and gave up two hits and a run, blowing his fourth save of the year. Sean Reid-Foley then surrendered the five runs in the following inning, although none of them were earned runs. Luke Jackson earned the win for the Giants and Camilo Doval pitched the tenth in a non-save situation.
