Yastrzemski is a hold — the profile is league average, and stable.

His expected wOBA is .309, six points under the league average of .315, and he has 408 plate appearances — comfortably past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .306 sits right on top of it, so there is no luck story holding the line up or dragging it down. The contact quality tracks the same way: 90.4 mph average exit velocity and a 43.0% hard-hit rate are both modestly above league, while his 6.8% barrel rate sits under it. He strikes out 24% of the time and walks 10%, and his chase and swinging-strike rates are both below league, so the approach is sound. The one wrinkle is that his expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample rather than climbing. That is a trend worth watching, not a reason to move. Hold. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG projects a fringe, streaming-only asset — hold is just status quo, not a reason to keep him rostered.
