Pops homer in loss Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-1 loss to Oakland.
Impact Dropped to ninth in the order after a 3-for-25 skid in his previous eight games, Yastrzemski delivered one of five hits and the lone run for San Francisco in the loss. The outfielder hasn't quite had it at the plate throughout 2021, slashing .219/.308/.454 with 19 homers, 48 RBI, 59 runs scored and three stolen bases. It's unclear how long he'll remain near the bottom of the lineup -- at this point, he's only playing the strong side of a platoon as Austin Slater typically starts in center field versus southpaws.

Records steal, run in win Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over Colorado.
Impact Yastrzemski singled and stole second before scoring on a Curt Casali single in the fifth inning. Never a big speed threat, Yastrzemski is up to three stolen bases this season. He's added 18 home runs, 47 RBI, 58 runs scored and three triples while slashing .223/.311/.458 in 402 plate appearances. The outfielder is likely to see the strong side of a platoon with Austin Slater in center field now that the Giants are back to full health among their hitters.

The Giants are expected to send Alex Wood to the mound Tuesday and the Diamondbacks will give Zac Gallen the startAUGUST 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sitting against lefty Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact The Giants are stocking up on right-handed bats with southpaw Brett Anderson on the hill, so Yastrzemski will slide to the bench as a result. Yastrzemski's absence from the lineup may also be part of a pre-planned maintenance plan, as the 30-year-old recently missed three consecutive games with a hamstring issue before returning to action Friday.

Goes 1-for-4 in return Yastrzemski (hamstring) went 1-for-4 in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to Milwaukee.
Impact After being out of the lineup for two games with hamstring tightness, the outfielder returned to the lineup Friday. Yastrzemski batted sixth and played center field -- both are rather uncommon, as he's usually hit second and patrolled right field, but manager Gabe Kapler seems to want to keep LaMonte Wade in the lineup. With versatility a theme throughout San Francisco's roster, Yastrzemski should find a spot in the lineup most days as long as he's hitting, but he's gone just 10-for-55 (.182) in 17 games since July 20.

Impact Yastrzemski was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup due to the hamstring issue. He remained out of the starting nine Thursday, though he did enter the game as a pinch hitter late in the contest. The discomfort appears to have subsided, as he'll bat sixth and man center field Friday.

Remains out of lineup Yastrzemski (hamstring) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Yastrzemski was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to right hamstring tightness, and he'll remain on the bench for Thursday's series finale. Whether he's able to serve as a pinch hitter remains to be seen, but LaMonte Wade will take over in right field while Alex Dickerson starts in left.
