San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (side) is back in the starting lineup against right-hander Miles Mikolas and the St. Louis Cardinals in Thursday afternoon's series finale.
Yastrzemski was a late scratch on Wednesday due to tightness in his left side, but he will be back in center field and hit sixth a day later. Austin Slater will sit while LaMonte Wade Jr. covers leadoff duty. Joc Pederson will be the designated hitter and bat third while Michael Conforto mans left field and bats cleanup. Mitch Haniger will move to the bench.
numberFire’s models project Yaz ($3,300) for 9.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Giants' implied total is 4.63 and the game total is tied for the highest of the day at 8.5.
