Mike Yastrzemski went 2-for-2 with a single, a two-run homer, and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Yastrzemski finally got on the board with his first home run of the year Tuesday night, belting a two-run shot during the Braves' four-run fifth inning. The veteran outfielder has begun to pick things up at the plate a bit, coming up with six hits over his last 20 at-bats.
Mike Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Tigers with a double, one run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
If Yastrzemski can get going for the first-place Braves, then an already tremendously deep lineup would become even deeper. The veteran outfielder hit from the nine-hole Tuesday night, coming up with a couple of nice knocks, including his fourth double of the season. He's not much of a fantasy asset at the moment, but look out for a hot streak.
Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-2 with a single, one RBI, and a stolen base in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
Following a recent 0-for-12 slide, Yastrzemski appears to be getting it going a bit. The veteran outfielder has a couple of hits in six at-bats over the last two days, and he swiped his first bag of the season Monday. He will continue to play on the strong side of a platoon for the Braves, limiting his fantasy value to deeper leagues.
Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 in Thursday's win over the Diamondbacks with a double, two walks, one run scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
After Thursday's win over Arizona, Yastrzemski is batting .286 with two doubles, one triple, three RBI, two runs scored, and three walks through his first six games of the season. The veteran outfielder has struck out just three times in 24 plate appearances.
Mike Yastrzemski has agreed to a two-year, $23 million deal with the Atlanta Braves that includes a third-year club option.
Fantasy Impact
Yastrzemski will join the Atlanta Braves after playing 146 games last season between the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, hitting .233 with a .735 OPS. He provides the Braves with a left-handed bat in the outfield and will likely be used in a platoon role this season, especially given that 15 of his 17 home runs came against right-handed pitching last season.
