Cranks first homer Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Mets.
Impact Yastrzemski reached base on a bunt single in his first plate appearance, but he waited for his final at-bat to take Carlos Carrasco yard. It was Yastrzemski's first homer of the season and only his second extra-base hit across 44 plate appearances. Nevertheless, he's shown signs of coming alive at the plate, recording at least one knock in three of his last four games and multiple hits in consecutive starts.

Starting Saturday Yastrzemski (quadriceps) is starting Saturday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Yastrzemski was removed from Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Royals due to right quadriceps tightness, but he'll return to game action after missing several days. In spite of his absence, it seems likely that he'll be ready for Opening Day against the Marlins on April 8.

Could return over weekend Manager Gabe Kapler said Wednesday that Yastrzemski (quadriceps) could be ready to rejoin the Giants' Cactus League lineup over the weekend, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicl...
Impact The Giants have been hit hard by the injury bug as spring training winds down, as both Evan Longoria (finger) and LaMonte Wade (knee) have gotten hurt this week and will begin the season on the injured list. Meanwhile, Yastrzemski and Brandon Belt (knee) are in the day-to-day category, with the availability of both players for the start of the regular season likely hinging on them getting back to the lineup this weekend or early next week. Yastrzemski exited Tuesday's game against the Royals with right quad tightness, but at this stage, the Giants don't seem to be viewing the injury as a major concern.

Leaves with quad tightness Yastrzemski exited Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Royals with right quadriceps tightness, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Manager Gabe Kapler said Yastrzemski's removal from the contest was precautionary, and at this point the outfielder isn't scheduled to undergo an MRI. The 31-year-old could be back in action within a couple days if the injury doesn't linger.

Darin Ruf receives $6,25M, 2-year deal from Giants
Outfielder Darin Ruf agreed to terms on a $6.25 million, two-year contract with the San Francisco Giants on TuesdayMARCH 23, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Works out 2022 contract with Giants Yastrzemski and the Giants agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $3.7 million deal to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact Yastrzemski is entering his first year of arbitration in 2022 after three seasons as a regular in the San Francisco lineup. Though his batting average and on-base percentage took a steady dive in 2021 compared to the previous two years, Yastrzemski was able to maintain his slugging production (25 home runs) while relying on a heavy volume of plate appearances to finish with 75 runs, 71 RBI and four stolen bases. He may sit more frequently against left-handed pitching in 2022, but Yastrzemski should continue to find himself in a prominent spot in the lineup versus righties.
