Mike Yastrzemski - Page 31 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in Tuesday's lineup Yastrzemski (hand) is starting in right field and batting second Tuesday against the Padres.

Impact The 30-year-old was scratched from Monday's starting nine with soreness in his left hand, but it's no surprise to see him back a day later as he still delivered a solo homer as a pinch hitter. Yastrzemski is 2-for-14 with one home run, two runs, one walk and six strikeouts through four games this season.

Hits clutch pinch-hit home run Yastrzemski (hand) entered in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

Impact Yastrzemski was scratched from Monday's lineup due to left hand soreness after he was hit by a pitch on the final day of spring training. The 30-year-old was still available off the bench and was inserted in the seventh as a pinch hitter for pitcher Caleb Baragar. He laid off two sinkers before taking the third one he saw deep to center to put the Giants up 3-2. Expect him back in the lineup Tuesday as he looks to help his team clinch the series against Yu Darvish.

Scratched with hand soreness Yastrzemski was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Padres due to left hand soreness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yastrzemski is still battling some soreness in his hand after being struck by a pitch on the last day of spring training, so the Giants will hold him out as a precaution. Austin Slater will shift to right field as a result. Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Yastremski will be available to hit off the bench if needed.

Starting Thursday Yastrzemski (hand) will start Thursday's game against the Mariners, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Yastrzemski dealt with a hand injury late in camp, but his X-rays came back negative. Manager Gabe Kapler said Wednesday that he was confident that Yastrzemski would start against Seattle on Opening Day, and Yastrzemski confirmed as much Thursday. The 30-year-old appeared in 15 spring games this year, slashing .300/.349/.675 with four home runs and nine RBI.

Likely to play Thursday Yastrzemski (hand) is doing well Wednesday and is expected to play against the Mariners on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Yastrzemski was hit by a pitch on his hand Monday, but he underwent X-rays that came back negative. Manager Gabe Kapler said Wednesday that he's confident that Yastrzemski will be in the starting lineup on Opening Day. The 30-year-old slashed .300/.349/.675 with four home runs and nine RBI in 15 Cactus League games this spring.

X-rays bring good news Yastrzemski (hand) is being considered day-to-day after X-rays came back negative, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact This is outstanding news for the Giants following the outfielder's departure from Monday's spring game after being struck by a pitch on his left hand. With a few days to recover before the start of the regular season, it seems likely that Yastrzemski will be in the starting lineup on Opening Day.

Sent for X-rays Yastrzemski was sent for X-rays after a pitch hit his hand Monday against the Athletics, but the Giants' medical staff is optimistic about his outlook, Susan Slusser of the San Fra...

Impact It sounds as though the Giants believe Yastrzemski has avoided a fracture, though he'll undergo an X-ray anyway just to be sure. If he escapes with nothing worse than a bruise, he should be good to go on Opening Day against the Mariners on Thursday. If he needs a trip to the injured list, at-bats would open up in the outfield corners for Austin Slater and potentially Darin Ruf.

Exits after pitch hits hand Yastrzemski left Monday's game against Oakland after a pitch hit his hand, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yastrzemski left for the team's facility in Scottsdale for further examination. The severity of the injury should become clear once the results of his tests are known.

Wielding hot bat in spring Yastrzemski has gone 8-for-26 with two home runs, a triple and a 2:8 BB:K through his first 10 Cactus League games.

Impact Yastrzemski has more or less picked up where he left off last season; his .973 OPS this spring is five points above the mark he posted in his breakout 2020 campaign. Some dropoff in last year's numbers should be expected over the course of a normal 162-game season (and especially if Oracle Park reopens the closed archways that made the venue more favorable in 2020 for lefty pull hitters like Yastrzemski), but the 30-year-old should remain an asset in batting average while compiling counting stats at a steady clip.
