Remains out of lineup Yastrzemski (elbow) isn't starting Thursday against the Padres, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Yastrzemski was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Padres due to a bruised elbow, but he still appeared off the bench and went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter. He'll likely be available off the bench if needed Thursday, but Darin Ruf, Kris Bryant and LaMonte Wade will start in the outfield from left to right.

Scratched with bruised elbow Yastrzemski was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Padres with a bruised elbow, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Yastrzemski suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch on the elbow Tuesday, and he'll sit out at least one game after initially being penciled in to start. Steven Duggar will take over in center field for the Giants.

Homers in Monday's win Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-1 win over San Diego.
Impact The outfielder went deep in the fourth inning off San Diego starter Yu Darvish. Yastrzemski hasn't been able to make a big impact in September, hitting .241 (7-for-29) with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs scored in 11 games. With a .222/.306/.456 slash line through 483 plate appearances, he's had to rely on solid power hitting (23 homers, 25 doubles, .234 ISO) to be effective. Expect Yastrzemski to work in a strong-side platoon role in center field with Austin Slater and Steven Duggar taking the weak side.

Sits against southpaw Yastrzemski will sit Sunday against the Cubs.
Impact Yastrzemski hits the bench against lefty Justin Steele, as he'd done against seven of the previous eight southpaws the Giants faced. Austin Slater (concussion) returns from the injured list to start in center field, while Kris Bryant (wrist) will start in right.

Returns to lineup Yastrzemski (ankle) will bat eighth and play center field Friday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Yastrzemski left Wednesday's game against the Rockies with a bruised right ankle but is ready to go following Thursday's off day. He finds himself near the back of the lineup after struggling to a .212/.278/.424 slash line over his last 23 games.

Giants to take on Cubs on the road
The Cubs will start Kyle Hendricks on Friday while the Giants have yet to decide who will get the startSEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Managing bruised ankle Yastrzemski was removed from Wednesday's win over the Rockies with a right ankle contusion, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Yastrzemski fouled a ball off his foot during the eighth inning and initially remained in the game to run the bases after earning a walk, but he didn't take the field for the bottom of the frame. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day and will have Thursday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing additional action.

Homers in return to lineup Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, three RBI, two runs and a walk in Tuesday's win versus the Rockies.
Impact The outfielder returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing Monday's contest with an illness. Yastrzemski went deep in the seventh inning for his 22nd home run of the season, driving in teammate Evan Longoria in the process. He later singled in Longoria in the ninth inning. In his last seven games leading into Monday, he had struggled to a .167 batting average with one extra-base hit and no RBI. The home run set a new career high for the 31-year-old, but his batting average of .222 is a career low.

Returns to lineup Yastrzemski (illness) will bat seventh and play right field Tuesday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Yastrzemski was scratched from Monday's lineup due to an illness, but the issue was evidently a minor one. He's been struggling at the plate recently, going just 3-for-22 over his last seven games, but a trip to Coors Field could certainly help him get back on track.

Scratched from lineup Yastrzemski was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Rockies due to a non-COVID illness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's not yet clear whether Yastrzemski will be available off the bench as he deals with a stomach illness. Steven Duggar, Mauricio Dubon and Kris Bryant will start in the outfield from left to right.
SEPTEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Reaches three times Sunday Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.
Impact The outfielder had gone just 1-for-19 across his last six games while striking out seven times, so it was a positive sign to see him reach base multiple times. Yastrzemski has struggled at the dish this year with a .220/.302/.450 slash line, but he's swatted 21 home runs with 52 RBI, 64 runs scored and three stolen bases in 460 plate appearances. With Austin Slater (concussion) on the injured list, Yastrzemski doesn't have a natural platoon partner in center field -- he'll likely split time with Steven Duggar, while Kris Bryant or Mauricio Dubon could also start there against southpaws.

On bench Saturday Yastrzemski will sit Saturday against lefty Julio Urias and the Dodgers.
Impact Yastrzemski appears to be in something close to a true platoon at the moment, as he's started against just two of the 10 lefties the Giants have faced since the start of August. Austin Slater will be the center fielder in his absence.

Remains out of lineup Yastrzemski isn't starting Thursday's game against the Brewers, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Wednesday Yastrzemski is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Yastrzemski started the last nine games and will receive a day off after going 8-for-33 with a .697 OPS during that stretch. Austin Slater will man center field Wednesday for the Giants.
