Gabe Kapler called the decision to remove Yastrzemski “precautionary.”
The Giants remain optimistic that first baseman Brandon Belt, who is dealing with a knee injury, will be ready to play when the team reports to Oracle Park on April 8 to begin its season against the Marlins, but Belt has yet to participate in a Cactus League game.
“One that stands out to me is Yastrzemski’s been really good in the batter’s box,” Kapler said. “It’s really being on time consistently. It’s a lot of twitch and a lot of athleticism, similar to what we saw in 2020. Not making any bold predictions about him being back to his 2020 self, just saying that he looks really good and comfortable in the batter’s box.”
Yastrzemski was in the midst of a strong showing against the Padres when he was replaced on defense by prospect Luis Matos in the top of the third inning. The defensive substitution came earlier than planned and followed a rigorous sequence for Yastrzemski, who had singled, walked and twice scored from first base before exiting Tuesday’s game.
