Wow, thank you everyone for the responses.
The below command will give yesterday date. I tried to truncate the
result down to the date only with:
do shell script "date +%a $(date -r $(( $(date +%s) - 86400 )))"
Doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something or is that even possible
with 3 variables inside "date" command?
Again thank you very much for all the responses,

The OP did ask for how to do this with the "date command"; assuming
that the shell command date(1) was actually intended, the result may
be achieved thus:
do shell script "date -r $(( $(date +%s) - 86400 ))"
Although if you have the GNU coreutils package installed (e.g. in
/sw/bin/ via fink, or in /opt/local/bin via MacPorts), it's a little
easier:
do shell script "/sw/bin/date -d yesterday"
