Sitting against righty
Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Análisis
The left-handed-hitting Yastrzemski often sits against lefties, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday while a right-hander (Eury Perez) takes the hill for the Marlins. Yastrzemski will give up his spot in the lineup to Sean Murphy, who will start behind the plate while Drake Baldwin gets a day off from catching but serves as Atlanta's designated hitter.

Finding power stroke
Yastrzemski went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Nationals.
Análisis
The veteran slugger took Cade Cavalli deep for a solo shot in the third inning to get Atlanta on the board, before adding a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Yastrzemski has four hits in his last three games, and all four have gone for extra bases (two doubles and two homers). As long as he's providing some thump, he'll continue to be a regular part of the lineup against right-handed pitching while manning one of the corner outfield spots, with occasional action at DH as well.

Belts first homer since break
Yastrzemski went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
Análisis
Making the start in left field and batting eighth, Yastrzemski tied the game at 3-3 when he got hold of a hanging curveball from Jake Irvin in the fifth inning and drove it into the right-field seats. Yastrzemski hadn't gone yard since July 9, but he'd seen just 20 plate appearances in nine games between homers as he tries to hang onto a consistent spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Through 54 PAs in July, the 35-year-old has managed a .239/.333/.478 slash line with three of his seven home runs on the season, and 11 of his 30 RBI.
