Homers in return Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in a 5-4 win over the Padres on Friday.

Impact Yastrzemski took Chris Paddack deep in the fourth for the Giants' third home run of the evening off the right-hander. It was encouraging to see the 30-year-old show no rust from being out as he was able to make a major impact upon his return to the lineup Friday. Yastrzemski is hitting .285/.387/.565 and leads his team with 35 RBI as he will be counted on to produce at the plate while the Giants try to fend off the Phillies and Brewers for the final postseason spot.

Returns to lineup Yastrzemski (calf) will lead off and play right field for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yastrzemski didn't start any of the Giants' last seven games, though he did appear off the bench Thursday. He's good to go for the first of Friday's two games, though there's a good chance he won't be asked to start twice in one day immediately after returning to action. The Giants will be happy to get whatever they can out of him in the final four games of a tense playoff race, as he's hitting a strong .283/.389/.550 on the season.

Could return Friday Yastrzemski (calf) is available Thursday as a pinch hitter and could start one of the games in Friday's doubleheader against the Padres, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area report...

Impact It was reported that there was a chance he could appear off the bench Wednesday, but that didn't happen. He was on the field running the bases and doing agility drills before Thursday's game. The fact that he could return to the starting lineup during Friday's twin bill is a good omen with regards to his availability this weekend.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Thursday Yastrzemski (calf) is not in Thursday's lineup against the Rockies.

Impact There was a notion that he could appear off the bench Wednesday, but that did not come to fruition. Yastrzemski has been doing agility work before games in addition to running on a treadmill and taking batting practice.

Won't start Wednesday Yastrzemski (calf) could appear off the bench Wednesday against the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact This seemingly rules Yastrzemski out of the starting lineup, but he will do agility work on the field before the game, and if that goes well, he could come in as a pinch hitter. He has been running on a treadmill and taking batting practice, so it sounds like he could return to the starting lineup before the end of the week.

Out again Tuesday Yastrzemski (calf) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact There was some optimism Yastrzemski would be able to rejoin the lineup Tuesday, but he'll instead miss his fifth straight contest due to the mild right calf strain. Luis Alexander Basabe receives another start in right field for the Giants.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Tuesday Yastrzemski (calf) is feeling better and is in contention to start Tuesday against Colorado, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Yastrzemski has missed four straight games with a mild right calf strain. He threw and hit off a tee Monday and is closing in a return, though it's not yet guaranteed that he'll be back Tuesday. His return would be a big boost to the Giants, who sit just a game out of the playoffs.

Remains on bench Yastrzemski (calf) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Yastrzemski will take a seat for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to nurse a mild right calf strain. He'll hit off a tee and do some short toss Monday, but he won't resume running yet, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Luis Alexander Basabe will start in right field for the series opener against the Rockies.

Out again Sunday Yastrzemski (calf) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the A's.

Impact Yastrzemski left Thursday's game and has not seen the field since. An MRI revealed a mild right calf strain, and while the injury is not expected to require an IL stint, Yastrzemski's status for the next few days is up in the air. Luis Alexander Basabe gets the start in right field against lefty Mike Minor.
