Mike Yastrzemski Exits With Side Injury
6 days agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (side) left Thursday's game at Rickwood Field against the St. Louis Cardinals due to a side injury. Yastrzemski exited the contest in the fourth inning, and he was replaced in the lineup by Austin Slater. Fantasy managers should deem Yastrzemski day-to-day until a more specific diagnosis is revealed, but the outfielder does have a day off on Friday to recuperate before this series with the Cardinals resumes on Saturday in St. Louis. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter hasn't made a big impact for the Giants since bursting onto the scene back in 2019 and 2020, slashing just .224/.304/.406 with 17 extra-base hits, 28 RBI, 43 runs scored, and one stolen base over 192 at-bats in 2024. Slater would see an uptick in ABs if Yastrzemski is forced to miss additional action.
