Prior to his injury, Yastrzemski was slashing .215/.303/.468 with four home runs, six RBI, 10 walks, and 29 RBI. The 30-year-old ranks 32nd among all outfielders in the latest rest-of-season expert consensus rankings. He was brilliant last season, so there is optimism that he can return to his 2020 form once his IL stint comes to an end.
