Mike Yastrzemski - Shifts to injured listYastrzemski (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to April 26.
ImpactThe 30-year-old was diagnosed with a mild strain in his left oblique earlier in the day, but he'll still require a stint on the injured list. Manager Gabe Kapler previously indicated Yastrzemski would miss five or six games, so there's a realistic chance the outfielder is ready to return when eligible May 7.
