Registers steal Saturday Yastrzemski went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Nationals.
Impact While stolen bases have been up around the majors, Yastrzemski hasn't been one to run more. This was his first successful theft (in three attempts) through 70 contests, though he's also been hampered by a couple of hamstring injuries during the campaign. The outfielder has also endured a brutal slump at the plate in July, hitting just .095 (4-for-42) over 15 contests this month, though he has drawn nine walks. He's slashing .230/.311/.435 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and 41 runs scored overall.

Hits solo shot in Saturday's win Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Pirates.
Impact Yastrzemski opened the scoring in the second inning, though Pittsburgh's Henry Davis answered in the bottom of the frame. After his return from the injured list July 3, Yastrzemski has been eased back into action in a part-time role, though it's not a clear platoon situation. The Giants are also working to balance playing time for rookie Luis Matos in center field, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Yastrzemski play there against right-handed pitchers and in right field versus southpaws.

On bench versus lefty Yastrzemski is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.
Impact Austin Slater, Luis Matos and Michael Conforto will start across the outfield for the Giants with left-hander Tommy Milone set to toe the slab for Seattle. Yastrzemski carries a .635 OPS in 51 plate appearances this year versus lefties, compared to an .859 OPS in 174 plate appearances against righties.

On base twice in return Yastrzemski (hamstring) went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners.
Impact Yastrzemski had a near-minimum stay on the injured list while working through hamstring inflammation. The outfielder played the full game in right field, so he looks good to handle at least a strong-side platoon role going forward. He's slashing .260/.327/.480 with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, 38 runs scored and no stolen bases over 56 contests. Yastrzemski has hit safely in five straight games dating back to before his injury.
