Player Outlook
Mike Yastrzemski posted a career-low .697 OPS in 2022, and he rebounded last season with a .233/.330/.445 slash line in 106 games as he had two stints on the injured list with hamstring issues. The veteran outfielder had a 12 percent walk rate and totaled 15 homers, 43 RBI and 54 runs in 2023, which are relative improvements on figures from the previous year (17, 57 and 73, respectively) given he played in 42 fewer games. The lefty-hitting Yastrzemski had severe splits with a 126 wRC+ versus right-handed pitching and a 62 wRC+ against lefties, so a strong-side platoon role likely awaits in 2024. His fantasy ceiling will be capped in that role given the more limited plate appearances, though he can still provide some value as long as you can stomach his .223 average over the past three years.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Hits bench versus lefty

    Yastrzemski isn't in San Francisco's lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle repors. Left-hander Jordan Montgomery will start on the mound for the D-backs, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin Friday's game. His absence will allow Austin Slater to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Drives in two

    Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with two RBI during Thursday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

It was just his second game of 2024 with an RBI as the outfielder has crawled to a .135/.238/.135 slash line through 14 games. He seems to be turning the corner on his sluggish start, going 4-for-17 (.235) over his last six appearances.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: DHing in spring debut

    Yastrzemski (shoulder) will bat third while serving as the Giants' designated hitter in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Athletics. Yastrzemski has been limited in the early part of Giants camp while he recovers from a left shoulder impingement, but manager Bob Melvin has said that he doesn't expect the health concern to affect Yastrzemski's readiness for Opening Day. The 33-year-old still looks like he'll require some additional time to finish up his throwing program, however, so he could draw a few starts at DH prior to playing the field. According to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com, Yastrzemski is scheduled to throw from 110 to 120 feet this week before the Giants provide another update regarding when he might be ready to man the outfield.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Nursing shoulder impingement

    Yastrzemski could be limited for the first 7-to-10 days of Giants camp because of a left shoulder impingement, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports. Yastrzemski is still able to play catch from 90 feet and isn't limited from a hitting perspective, so the injury doesn't seem like something for his fantasy managers to be overly concerned about. The 33-year-old is currently projected to serve as San Francisco's right fielder against right-handed pitching.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Blasts two-run home run

    Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers. Yastrzemski's fourth-inning blast proved to be all the Giants needed in this contest. Prior to Friday, he was in a 2-for-23 slump over his previous eight games. The outfielder is at 15 homers, 43 RBI, 54 runs scored, two stolen bases, 23 doubles and a .245/.335/.468 slash line through 98 games this season. He continues to be one of the Giants' few full-time staters when healthy.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Picks up second steal

    Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Rockies. The steal was Yastrzemski's second of the season. He's never had more than five in a campaign, and it makes sense that he's been reluctant to run after a year plagued by hamstring injuries. The outfielder has struggled lately, going 3-for-20 (.150) over his last six games, dropping his season average to .247. He's added a .797 OPS, 14 home runs, 40 RBI and 52 runs scored across 94 contests.

The outfielder was productive from atop the order Saturday, a spot that's typically been occupied by LaMonte Wade when the Giants are facing a right-handed pitcher.
