San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-2 extra-inning win over the Miami Marlins. He blasted a two-run shot off Miami Marlins pitcher David Smeltzer in the 11th inning to increase the Giants' lead to 5-1. The 32-year-old is heating up and has now homered in back-to-back games. He is slashing .239/.271/.478 with for homers, nine RBI, and 12 runs scored across 17 games in 2023. Yastrzemski can be used as a streamer while wielding a hot bat in Thursday's home matchup against New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (knee) is back in the Cactus League lineup on Friday against the Colorado Rockies, starting in center field and batting leadoff. The Giants held Yastrzemski out of the spring lineup the last two days with some minor right knee soreness, but he's back in there for the weekend. In his fourth MLB season for the Giants last year, Yaz slashed .214/.305/.392 with a career-low .697 OPS, 17 home runs, 57 RBI, 73 runs scored and a career-high five stolen bases in 558 plate appearances and 148 games. The 32-year-old will be in the lineup against right-handers, but he has come back to Earth the last two years and also isn't in the best home hitting environment in San Fran. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 76 fantasy outfielder.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (knee), who was expected to start in center field against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, was a late scratch due to right knee soreness. Manager Gabe Kapler said that the Giants are not overly concerned and are simply proceeding cautiously with Yastrzemski. Bryce Johnson started in Yastrzemski's place. Yastrzemski came out of nowhere as a fantasy contributor in 2019 and had a solid 2020 season, but his average has dipped since then. He slashed .214/.305/.392 with 17 home runs, 57 RBI, and five steals in 2022. While he has not been able to sustain his early-career success, Yastrzemski's production makes him a fantasy consideration in five-outfield leagues, assuming he's healthy.

The San Francisco Giants have reached a one-year deal with Mike Yastrzemski that will pay the outfielder $6.1 million dollars in the 2023 season. The 32-year-old Yastrzemski avoids arbitration with this pact and remains eligible for free agency following the 2025 season. He will look to be more productive in the upcoming campaign after a career-worst offensive output in 2022 that saw him slash .214/.305/.392 with 17 home runs in 558 plate appearances across 148 games.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (calf) has been held out of action for each of the team's last two games as he's been dealing with calf soreness. In his absence, the team has gone with Yermin Mercedes, Austin Slater and Luis Gonzalez in the outfield for each of the last two games. It sounds as if Yastrzemski is day-to-day at this point. The 31-year-old owns a .234/.330/.410 slash line on the year to go along with nine home runs, 38 RBI and 42 runs.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He took Charlie Morton deep in the first inning for his seventh long ball of the season. The 31-year-old is starting to heat up and has now driven in four runs over his last five games. He has been solid this season, slashing .256/.363/.446 with seven home runs, 26 RBI, and 34 runs scored over 59 games. Yastrzemski should be rostered in all leagues as he hits near the top of the Giants order and provides fantasy managers some pop along with a solid on-base percentage in OBP formats.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski continued his hot hitting on Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run, and two runs scored from the third spot in the lineup. Yastrzemski now has a nine-game hitting streak going, and he's slashing .330/.430/.540 with four home runs over his last 30 games. It's a good sign that Yastrzemski was at the top of the lineup against a lefty starter, as the Giants are wont to drop him down against same-handed pitching. He's well on his way to another very strong output, and he should be rostered everywhere.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (illness) is expected to be activated from the COVID-19 list ahead of Wednesday's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He tested positive for COVID-19 last week and has been sidelined since then. The 31-year-old is slashing .267/.340/.356 with a home run, three RBI, and six runs scored in his first 14 games on the season. Yastrzemski is expected to be San Francisco's primary right fielder when he returns to action and is worth rostering in deep-league formats after smashing 25 homers in 2021.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski tested positive for COVID-19 and will remain in D.C. until he tests negative, so he'll be out for a few days. The Giants will replace him on the active roster on Monday. He is experiencing mild symptoms and will have to pass through the league's protocols before returning to the Giants lineup. Luis Gonzalez was called up from the minors on Friday and made his first start of the year on Saturday, and he could have an expanded role until Yaz returns from the COVID list. The 31-year-old Yastrzemski is hitting .267/.340/.356 with a home run, three RBI and six runs scored in his first 14 games on the season.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) will make his Cactus League debut on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (quadriceps) will also be making his return to the spring lineup. Belt has been held out of spring action due to knee inflammation, but he's reportedly ahead of schedule and could still be ready for Opening Day next week as long as he doesn't have any setbacks. The 33-year-old left-handed slugger dealt with knee issues last year as well, so fantasy managers have to be a bit more cautious when selecting him this year. However, he broke out to the tune of a career-high 29 home runs last year while also slashing .274/.378/.597 with 59 RBI and 65 runs scored in 381 plate appearances over 97 games.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (quadriceps) could return to Cactus League action over the weekend. Yastrzemski should be considered day-to-day after leaving the game on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals with right quad tightness. As long as the 31-year-old can return to the lineup this weekend and avoid setbacks, he should be good to go for Opening Day next week. The Giants can't afford any more injuries to their starters, as third baseman Evan Longoria (finger) is out for up to six weeks, while LaMonte Wade Jr. (knee) and Brandon Belt (knee) may not be ready to begin the season. The lefty hitting Yaz is a nice source of power later in drafts after slugging a career-high 25 homers in 2021.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (quad) was removed prior to the third inning of Tuesday's Cactus League game due to right quad tightness. According to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic, Yastrzemski's removal was precautionary. Yastrzemski tallied a single, a walk and two runs scored before exiting the game. He was the team's leadoff hitter for Tuesday's game, a batting order position we should see him in often this year. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for updates on Yastrzemski, but it doesn't sound like the quad injury is anything that will keep him out once the regular season begins.

The San Francisco Giants avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Mike Yastrzemski on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.7 million deal. Yastrzemski will come at a discount in the late round of fantasy drafts after he hit just .224/.311/.457 with a .768 OPS, although he did have a career-high 25 home runs, 71 RBI and 75 runs scored in 532 plate appearances over 139 games in his third MLB season. A high BABIP in his first two major league seasons foreshadowed a drop in batting average to come, but he still has the potential to hit 20 to 25 home runs again with an average around .240. At his current ADP, Yastrzemski could be a real nice target as a late-round value selection.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is back in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's playing right field and batting second. The left-handed Yastrzemski was left out of the starting lineup in Game 2 as the Dodgers had lefty Julio Urias on the mound. Yastrzemski did enter the game as a pinch-hitter, though. Through two games this series, the 31-year-old is 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. He'll have a tough task against Dodgers star Max Scherzer on Monday. He has yet to face the three-time Cy Young winner in his career.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is on the bench Saturday. The Giants will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers and left-handed starter Julio Urias in the second game of their National League Division Series but will start Darin Ruf, Kris Bryant, and Austin Slater from left to right in the outfield. Yastrzemski hit .224 with a .311 on-base percentage, 25 home runs, and four stolen bases in 532 plate appearances during the regular season. He went hitless in three plate appearances during Friday's series-opening win.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski pitched in to secure the NL West in Sunday's 11-4 win over the Padres, going 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. The 31-year-old finished the 2021 regular season with a disappointing .224/.311/.457 slash line, 25 home runs, and 71 RBI. The power was there for Yaz, but the average was the biggest letdown for fantasy managers this season. How fantasy managers feel about him heading into next season may be affected by how he performs in the playoffs.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (knee) was removed from Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies with right knee soreness, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 30-year-old went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk before being replaced defensively in the ninth inning for outfielder Austin Slater. On the season, Yastrzemski has 25 HR, 65 RBI, 74 R, and three stolen bases with a .233/.308/.462 line across 448 at-bats. Yastrzemski should be considered day-to-day, with Slater and outfielder Steven Duggar as potential fill-ins during his absence.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Braves, according to MLB.com. He hasn't been able to replicate what he's done the last couple of seasons but still has an above-average .221/.308/.454 slash line with 23 HRs, 71 runs, and 58 RBI. He has just a .531 OPS against southpaws this season, though, and will take a seat with Max Fried starting for the Braves. Austin Slater will play center and bat second. Slater has crushed lefties this year with a .266/.363/.481 slash line, along with 14 SBs over 122 games this season. He's a good streaming option for any fantasy manager looking for outfield help.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) was scratched from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres due to an elbow bruise. Steven Duggar is manning center field in the game with LaMonte Wade Jr. in right field and Kris Bryant in left. Yastrzemski was hit by a pitch on the elbow in Tuesday's game. He was initially part of the Giants' starting lineup for Wednesday, but went on to become a late scratch. He should be considered day-to-day at this point with a chance to return in Thursday's series finale.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (ankle) is day to day with an ankle contusion, according to Maria Guardado of MLB.com. Yastrzemski exited Wednesday's game in the eighth inning after going 0-for-2 with a walk against the Rockies. He's been hitting well recently, as he's now slashing .245/.302/.469 with three homers, seven RBI and seven runs scored over his last 15 games. The Giants are off on Thursday, so managers should check back for updates on Yastrzemski's condition on Friday.
