Set for No. 3 spot in order Yelich went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's 13-2 loss to the Rangers in Cactus League play. Impact Yelich has walked in three of his 30 plate appearances this spring and has struck out only six times, though he hasn't been especially effective when he's made contact, going 7-for-27 (.259 average) with two doubles and no home runs. He was slotted into five different spots in the Brewers' batting order a season ago, but he most often hit third. He's set to open the 2022 campaign at that spot in the lineup, having hit third in all 10 games he has appeared in during the exhibition season.
