Brandon Belt, Mike Yastrzemski To Play Saturday
3 years agoSan 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.
