Despite initial optimism, Mike Yastrzemski’s left hamstring sent him to the injured list for the second time this season.
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.
Infielder Isan Diaz 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. was back at first base.
Having already injured the same hamstring twice this season, Yastrzemski said he will be cautious in his recovery but not his playing style.
