Player Outlook
The veteran outfielder broke out of his two-year funk in 2023, finishing with a .278/.370/.447 slash line to go along with 19 homers, 28 steals (31 attempts) and 78 RBI in 144 games. It's a far cry from the MVP-level production Christian Yelich posted during his first two years in Milwaukee, but it's still a marked improvement on his .737 OPS from the previous two seasons. A .342 BABIP was backed up by an xBA of .277 and xSLG of .450, which indicates his 2023 results should be sustainable. Yelich's chronic back issues continue to linger and cost him nearly two weeks in September, but he's still played in all but 26 games over the last two years. That MVP form is likely long gone as he enters his age-32 campaign, but Yelich will still have plenty of fantasy value with a decent chance at a 20-20 campaign in 2024.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Plans to rest and rehab back injury

    Rotowire
    Yelich has elected Thursday to rest and rehab his back injury, delaying a potential surgery until the offseason, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Rosenthal says offseason surgery for Yelich is viewed as a "strong possibility," but the three-time All-Star will put off the operation for now as he works to return to the field for the Brewers down the stretch. Yelich aggravated the recurring back injury Tuesday and landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. It's not clear yet how long he might be sidelined.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Could need season-ending surgery

    Rotowire
    Yelich (back) will see a spine specialist Thursday to discuss the next steps in his recovery, with season-ending surgery representing one possibility, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. Yelich's on-again, off-again back injury flared up Tuesday, and he was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Season-ending surgery would be a worst-case scenario, and it's unclear at this point what the likelihood of an operation would be, but the fact that it's even on the table is concerning. At the very least, Yelich should be expected to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the shelf.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Lands on IL with back inflammation

    Rotowire
    The Brewers placed Yelich on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with low-back inflammation. Yelich was removed from Tuesday's win over the Cubs when his back flared up on him. It's been a nagging issue for Yelich off and on for the last few years, and he will visit with a specialist the coming days, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Yelich isn't sure how long he might be sidelined, but his tone Wednesday seemed ominous, as he discussed "a couple different discussions I think that need to be had." Gary Sanchez returned from the 10-day IL to take Yelich's roster spot and will be one of the candidates to fill in for him at designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Dealing with back tightness

    Rotowire
    Yelich was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cubs due to back tightness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The 32-year-old outfielder had gone 0-for-1 with two walks before Rhys Hoskins pinch hit for him in the eighth inning. Back injuries have been a recurring issue for Yelich in recent seasons, and he spent nearly a month on the injured list earlier in the year due to a lower-back strain. The severity of his latest injury remains unknown, though manager Pat Murphy said after the game that Yelich may land on the IL again given his history.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Not in Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins. Yelich went 0-for-5 with a strikeout and an RBI during Saturday's 12-inning victory and will take a seat for the series finale in Minnesota. Jackson Chourio, Garrett Mitchell and Sal Frelick will start across the outfield Sunday for Milwaukee while William Contreras rests his legs as the designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Out of lineup Saturday

    Rotowire

    Rotowire

Yelich has a steal in consecutive games, and he's swiped six bags without getting caught over his last 13 contests. In that span, he's batting .408 (20-for-49) with an 8:6 BB:K.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Ends power drought

    Rotowire
    Yelich went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Angels. Yelich opened the scoring with a first-inning homer, his first long ball since May 29. Power has been the only missing element for the veteran outfielder in June -- he's batting .322 (19-for-59) this month, but with just two extra-base hits and five RBI over 16 contests. For the year, Yelich is slashing .324/.400/.506 with seven homers, 32 RBI, 25 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 200 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be his best campaign since 2019.

The outfielder has gone 20-for-69 (.290) over 18 contests since he returned from the injured list, though he's logged just six extra-base hits in that span. For the season, Yelich is slashing .306/.390/.546 with six homers, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven stolen bases, four doubles and two triples over 29 contests.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Resting Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. With a lefty (Martin Perez) on the hill for Pittsburgh and the Brewers and Pirates getting together for a day game after a night game, the lefty-hitting Yelich will hit the bench in the series finale. Yelich's absence clears a spot in the outfield for Blake Perkins, who returns to the lineup after playing off the bench for the past two games.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Three hits in win

    Rotowire
    Yelich went 3-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Cardinals. The outfielder singled in his first at-bat before coming home on a Rhys Hoskins home run as the Brewers took an early 3-0 lead. Yelich would then add an RBI triple in the fifth to extend Milwaukee's lead, and he finished the game with three hits for only the second time this season. He went hitless in his first game back from the injured list but he's hit safely in 11 of 12 games for the season. He's also driven in at least one run in four of his last six contests.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Activated, starting Wednesday

    Rotowire
    The Brewers reinstated Yelich (back) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll serve as the Brewers' designated hitter and will bat third in the team's series finale in Kansas City. Milwaukee optioned infielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Yelich, who had been on the shelf since April 16 with a lower-back strain. Despite missing well beyond the minimum 10 days, Yelich will return to the lineup without having gone on a minor-league rehab assignment, as the Brewers were encouraged enough with how his back responded to baseball activities over the past few days to activate him. He'll be eased back into action in a non-defensive role, and Yelich could end up seeing more work at DH over the next week or two before gradually settling into his usual spot in left field.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Hits on field Monday

    Rotowire
    Yelich (back) did some hitting on the field Monday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. It's the first time Yelich has hit on the field since he went on the injured list three weeks ago with a lower-back strain. Brewers manager Pat Murphy had indicated previously that it would likely be the final step before Yelich returns to action, although it's not clear whether he might need to go out on a rehab assignment first. The 32-year-old was off to a .333/.422/.744 start with five home runs in 11 contests before getting hurt.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Starts up hitting program

    Rotowire
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Yelich (back) has resumed swinging the bat in addition to running and throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. The 32-year-old seemingly had a breakthrough in his recovery from a low back strain this weekend, when he had his best session in the batting cage since landing on the shelf, according to MLB.com. Yelich said that he's targeting a return to action before the Brewers' road trip wraps up Wednesday in Kansas City, but don't be surprised if the team takes a more conservative approach and gives him more time to heal up from the back injury before activating him from the 10-day injured list.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Throws from 120 feet

    Rotowire
    Yelich (back) played catch from 120 feet Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Yelich's recovery from a lower-back strain has come along more slowly than anticipated, but he's finally beginning to ramp things up. It's been two-and-a-half weeks since he last played for the Brewers and there remains no timetable for his return to the 26-man active roster.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Resumes on-field work

    Rotowire
    Yelich (back) was spotted running on the field prior to Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. While Yelich's ability to take part in some form of on-field activity is a positive sign as he works his way back from a lower-back strain, he has yet to resume swinging a bat or playing catch since landing on the 10-day injured list on April 16. The Brewers haven't set a firm target date for Yelich's return to the lineup, but at the very least, he doesn't look as though he'll be ready to come off the IL when first eligible this weekend.
