Mike Yastrzemski was optimistic he would avoid a second stint on the injured list after getting a positive prognosis on his hamstring.
Yastrzemski has played a key part in the Giants’ winning streak, their longest since 2004, delivering two clutch home runs while playing steady defense in right field. He walked off the Padres with a three-run splash hit in extra innings Monday night, and last week in St. Louis tied the game with a two-run homer after being down to their final strike. He is batting .306/.375/.667 with four home runs since the start of the winning streak.
He said he felt his hamstring “grab a little bit” while advancing first to third on J.D. Davis’ RBI single during the Giants’ four-run sixth inning Wednesday night but that it “felt nothing like the first time I did it,” charging for a fly ball in center field in the Giants’ second game in Mexico City.
“I didn’t feel much of it afterward. In my head I was thinking I still had adrenaline going, there was a lot of blood pumping. So I was thinking that I wasn’t really feeling anything because of that, but it feels about the same today,” Yastrzemski said. “So hopefully we’ll avoid something serious. … Obviously the team is rolling, so I want to be as much a part of that as possible.”
