Could return Tuesday Yastrzemski (elbow) could return from the injured list when eligible Tuesday, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Impact Yastrzemski has made encouraging progress in his recovery since landing on the injured list July 11 with left elbow inflammation. It's still unknown whether Atlanta will send him down to the minors to get some tune-up reps before returning to the active roster, but he seems likely to return after the 10-day minimum either way.

Lands on IL Atlanta placed Yastrzemski on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation.

Impact Yastrzemski has tallied a base hit in each of Atlanta's last five games, but the team will be without his services until at least July 21 due to an elbow issue. Eli White figures to be next in line for more reps in the outfield while Yastrzemski is out, though Brewer Hicklen, who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, could also be in the mix.

Slugs grand slam in Thursday's win Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with two walks, a grand slam and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Impact The veteran outfielder put the game out of reach in the top of the ninth inning when he turned on a Dennis Santana fastball and deposited it in the right-field seats. The homer was only Yastrzemski's sixth of the season in 84 contests, and his .681 OPS would be a career low, but he's showing signs of a breakout in July. Through the first nine games this month he's batting .280 (7-for-25) with a double, two long balls, six runs, nine RBI and more walks (six) than strikeouts (five).

Getting breather Saturday Yastrzemski is not starting Saturday versus the Mets.

Impact Yastrzemski frequently hits the bench against left-handed starters, and that's the case again Saturday with southpaw Sean Manaea on the mound for the Mets. Mauricio Dubon is handling left field in Yastrzemski's stead.

Sitting against southpaw Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Though he'll hit the bench while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants, Yastrzemski still appears to have a hold on a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield. Yastrzemski has been seeing most of his starts in right field of late but should slide over to left field on a more regular basis once Ronald Acuna (hamstring) eventually returns from the injured list.

Sitting Saturday Yastrzemski isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Yastrzemski was initially set to start in right field and bat eighth Saturday, but he appears to have been a healthy scratch to allow Michael Harris (back) to join the lineup as Atlanta's center fielder with Mauricio Dubon and Eli White patrolling the corners.

Swats fourth homer Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

Impact The veteran outfielder took Abner Uribe deep in the seventh inning, providing Atlanta with a needed insurance run in an eventual 3-2 victory. The long ball was Yastrzemski's first since May 21, snapping a 20-game drought, and just his fourth of the season. While working primarily in a strong-side platoon role, he's managed just a .230/.318/.353 slash line over 211 plate appearances with 19 RBI and 27 runs on the year.
