Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. Ronald Acuna (hamstring) landed on the injured list Sunday, but his absence may not change Yastrzemski's role as a strong-side platoon option. Yastrzemski will be on the bench for the fourth time in the last five games Sunday, with Atlanta facing lefty starters in each of those contests.

Michael Yastrzemski: Breaking News
Heading to bench Wednesday
Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. After taking a seat against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola on Sunday, the left-handed-hitting Yastrzemski will check out of the lineup against a lefty (Tarik Skubal) on Wednesday. Eli White will draw the start in left field in his stead, but Yastrzemski still projects to see the bulk of the playing time at the position.
On bench Sunday
Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. The veteran outfielder will typically sit versus left-handed starting pitchers, but his absence Sunday is his first of the year against a righty (Aaron Nola). Yastrzemski has yet to get on track at the plate this season with a .188/.266/.247 slash line in 94 plate appearances. If he maintains it, his 26.6 percent strikeout rate would be the worst of his eight-year MLB career.
