Giants Place Mike Yastrzemski On Injured List, Recall Isan Diaz

By Anthony Franco | June 23, 2023 at 8:42pm CDT

The Giants announced a pair of roster moves before tonight’s division matchup with the Diamondbacks. Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is headed to the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22, with a left hamstring strain. Infielder Isan Díaz was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento to take the active roster spot.

Yastrzemski has landed on the IL with left hamstring concerns twice this season. He returned within two weeks back in May. The club will hope for a similarly swift comeback this time around. Yastrzemski has a .259/.324/.482 line with 10 home runs through 217 trips to the plate. He’s played primarily center field but moved to left field once Mitch Haniger broke his arm and the Giants called up Luis Matos to man center.

Blake Sabol is getting the nod in left field tonight against a right-handed pitcher. Austin Slater picked up the start against a left-hander yesterday, and the club could continue with a platoon arrangement in Yastrzemski’s absence.

Díaz is starting at second base. It’s his team debut and first MLB appearance since 2021. A former top prospect, he struggled to a .185/.275/.287 line in 500 plate appearances with the Marlins between 2019-21. San Francisco signed him to a minor league deal in 2022.

The left-handed hitter had a strong ’22 season in Sacramento, hitting .275/.377/.574 in 83 games. The Giants selected his contract at the start of last offseason to prevent him from returning to minor league free agency. He spent most of this season on the minor league injured list but is now healthy and ready to don a San Francisco uniform for the first time.

    Interesting that Diaz and Johnson were both called up before Brett Wisely. Is he hurt? Or is he on the Giants’ 40 man hot seat?

      Wisely not hurt. He homered tonight. Diaz had been hurt but recently began to play again. Wisely played earlier in the season cuz Diaz was rehabbing. Johnson is a superior and true CFer.

    I believe you only have 5 options in a season. Wisely has been optioned 3 times already.

      Willie you are correct. After five they can’t be sent back down.

    Might be keen to have a look at Diaz. Apparently he was on the verge of being called up last year but it was vetoed by an untimely injury. He was hitting post injury this time around and they had an opportunity to see what he can do.

    Photo looks like the guy I saw on my TV. No one can match Craw, but it looks like he has an excellent hair game.

    From mlb site
    Only one Minor League option is used per season, regardless of how many times a player is optioned to and from the Minors over the course of a given season. (Players may only be optioned five times per season; after that, it requires outright assignment waivers to assign the player to the Minor Leagues.)

    Everyone the Marlins got back for Yelich turned out to be worse than sewage.

    How Isan Diaz is still able to fill out a spot on a major league roster defies science.

      His Sacramento numbers might defy science enough to warrant another mlb chance. 26 hrs in 89 games in Sac. Fingers crossed.
