The Giants have relied on Mike Yastrzemski in right field for six years, but after his recent trade, they are searching for a new starter. Manager Bob Melvin has cycled through five different players in 12 games since the trade deadline, with their collective performance dismal at .140 batting average. The team hopes for someone to take over the position and contribute offensively. Replacing Yastrzemski is challenging due to his adeptness in one of baseball's trickiest outfield positions.
The group has batted .140 with 14 strikeouts, zero walks and two home runs in 44 plate appearances.
Yastrzemski appeared in right field 583 times from the time he debuted in 2019 until he was traded to the Kansas City Royals.
Manager Bob Melvin said he hoped to see someone take the reins, hopefully take the job over and be productive offensively.
The most daunting task might be replacing Yastrzemski's ability to navigate one of the trickiest positions in the sport.
