Exiting lineup versus lefty Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Atlanta placed Ronald Acuna (hamstring) on the injured list Sunday, but his absence may not change the club's approach to its usage with Yastrzemski, who continues to be deployed as a strong-side platoon outfielder. Yastrzemski will be on the bench for the fourth time in the five games, with Atlanta facing lefty starters in each of those contests.

Heading to bench Wednesday Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact After taking a seat against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola on Sunday, the left-handed-hitting Yastrzemski will check out of the lineup against a lefty (Tarik Skubal) on Wednesday. Eli White will draw the start in left field in his stead, but Yastrzemski still projects to see the bulk of the playing time at the position.

On bench Sunday Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact The veteran outfielder will typically sit versus left-handed starting pitchers, but his absence Sunday is his first of the year against a righty (Aaron Nola). Yastrzemski has yet to get on track at the plate this season with a .188/.266/.247 slash line in 94 plate appearances. If he maintains it, his 26.6 percent strikeout rate would be the worst of his eight-year MLB career.

Struggles continue Sunday Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

Impact Six different Atlanta players recorded multiple hits in a 13-1 rout, but Yastrzemski instead led the team in a less helpful category, accounting for three of the five strikeouts by Cleveland pitchers on the night. The veteran slugger is still looking for his first homer of 2026, slashing .180/.293/.260 through 15 games with what would be a career-worst 27.6 percent strikeout rate, but for now his spot as the strong side of a platoon in left field doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.

Sitting against southpaw Yastrzemski is absent from the lineup for Friday's opener against the Royals.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Yastrzemski could start against some left-handed hurlers, but he'll begin his Atlanta tenure on the bench as the Royals send ace southpaw Cole Ragans to the hill. Eli White will grab the start in left field and bat sixth.

Returning to action Sunday Yastrzemski (eye) is starting in left field and batting cleanup in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

Impact The veteran outfielder has been sidelined the past couple days due to pink eye, but he's good to rejoin the spring lineup Sunday. Yastrzemski should be a lineup regular for Atlanta in the strong side of a platoon in left field after signing a two-year, $9.5 million contract in December.
