Mike Yastrzemski Getting A Day Off On Sunday
3 years agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. Left-hander Clayton Kershaw is on the bump for the Dodgers so that could have something to do with Yaz getting the day off. Mike Tauchman is starting in right field in his place with Austin Slater manning left field and Steven Duggar playing center. The 30-year-old outfielder has battled injuries this season which has led to some inconsistent production. He's shown signs of life at the plate over the last seven games, however. He's slashing .276/.364/.448 with five doubles and four RBI over his last 29 at-bats. He's got a .224/.333/.467 batting line to go along with six home runs and 15 RBI across 152 at-bats for the year.
