Mike Yastrzemski (hand) sitting for Giants Monday night
San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hand) is not starting on Monday night against left-hander Alex Young and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What It Means:
Yastrzemski was removed from Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics after being hit on the hand by a fastball. He downplayed the issue afterward, referring to it as "day-to-day." Abiatal Avelino is covering left field for the Giants on Monday and hitting sixth.
Yaz is hitting .270/.322/.537 with 17 homers, 15 doubles, 47 RBI, and 46 scores through the first 296 plate appearances (77 games) of his pro career.
