CHRISTIAN YELICH NEWS

Good to go Friday Yelich (back) is starting in left field and batting leadoff Friday against San Francisco, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact The 30-year-old has been held out since being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with mid-back tightness, but he's been cleared to return to action Friday versus the Giants. It's an encouraging sign Yelich is back playing the field rather than being limited to DH duties.

Still not starting Yelich (back) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact Yelich was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Minnesota due to mid-back tightness and will be excluded from the starting nine for a third consecutive game Thursday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Andrew McCutchen will start in left field while Pedro Severino serves as the designated hitter.

Back improving, but out Wednesday Yelich has shown improvement in his recovery from mid-back tightness, but he'll be out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yelich was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's 6-3 win in the series opener after the back issue cropped up, allowing Jonathan Davis to pick up a start in the outfield. Though Yelich was troubled by back problems during the 2021 season, the Brewers don't seem to believe his latest recurrence of the injury is as worrisome. McCalvy suggests that Yelich has a chance to rejoin the starting nine for Thursday's series opener in San Francisco, but Friday may be the more realistic target for the 30-year-old's return to the lineup.

Scratched with back issue Yelich was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to mid back tightness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yelich has a history of back issues, so his removal from the lineup raises an eyebrow. However, until more information is released, it's possible the Brewers are simply taking the cautious route. Jonathan Davis will replace Yelich in the outfield, and Kolten Wong will take his place atop the batting order.

Takes seat Sunday Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact He'll head to the bench for the first time since June 4, ending a stretch of 31 consecutive starts. The day out of the lineup plus Monday's team off day should allow Yelich to get a mental reset after he went 2-for-18 with a double, four walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base over the Brewers' past five contests. Keston Hiura will replace Yelich in left field in Sunday's series finale.
