Launches 100th career homer Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Marlins.
Impact The homer was Yastrzemski's 100th career long ball, a mark he's achieved over six seasons. It's been a down year in the power department for the outfielder -- he has 12 homers through 117 contests, his lowest total since hitting 10 in 54 games in the shortened 2020 campaign. Yastrzemski has picked up the pace recently, going 7-for-26 (.269) with three homers and five RBI over his last seven games, lifting his season slash line to .239/.309/.430 across 389 plate appearances.

Swats homer in win Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Impact Yastrzemski's seventh-inning blast put the Giants ahead for good. The outfielder has found some success lately, going 7-for-22 (.318) with two homers and four RBI over his last six contests. Overall, he's maintained a .243/.307/.432 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 44 runs scored and three stolen bases over 113 games this year, mainly in a strong-side platoon role, though he hasn't been held out versus every southpaw. His main competitors for playing time are Mark Canha and Jerar Encarnacion, who have been utilized more frequently at first base and designated hitter rather than right field.
