Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:27:24 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants were optimistic that Mike Yastrzemski would be able to avoid the injured list, but that turned out not to be the case.Yastrzemski was placed on the 10-day IL before Friday’s series opener against the D-backs after going through pregame drills and feeling worse than he did Thursday, a day after he aggravated the same hamstring that sidelined him for two weeks at the start of May.Infielder Isan Díaz was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take Yastrzemski’s spot on the roster and was in the starting lineup at second base, while Thairo Estrada received his second day off in three games. Set to face three righties this series, starting with Zach Davies on Friday, the loss of one of the Giants’ top left-handed bats comes at an inopportune time, but they did get back another righty masher: LaMonte Wade Jr. (side tightness) was back at first base.Manager Gabe Kapler said Yastrzemski was “a little sore today.”Yastrzemski, who had fou...

But it also furthered general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s belief that they took the right guy with their No. 19 pick in Thursday night’s draft.Cam Whitmore, the versatile 6-foot-7 wing from Villanova whom many projected to be a lottery pick, was still on the ...
