Yastrzemski was initially slated to bat eighth and play left field for the Giants on Monday, but he has been scratched due to an illness. Steven Duggar will draw the start in left field in his absence against left-hander Kyle Freeland. The Giants are currently implied for more than six runs at Coors Field, which should make them a popular target on the afternoon FanDuel slate.

Yastrzemski was the Giants’ best hitter in 2020, but he’s had a disappointing 2021 campaign. His wRC+ has dropped from 159 last year to just 102 this season, although he has hit 21 homers.
