Takes seat Thursday Yelich isn't starting Thursday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The Brewers continue to bring Yelich along slowly to prevent against another back injury, and he'll get a routine day off after he went 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in the last two games. Jackie Bradley will start in left field and bat seventh.

Resting Monday Yelich will get a scheduled day off Monday against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Brewers are handling Yelich very cautiously after a false start in his return from back issues saw him land back on the injured list in early May just one game after returning to action. He's yet to take the field on consecutive days since returning from the injured list last week and hasn't yet caught fire at the plate, grabbing just two hits in five games. Tyrone Taylor will be the right fielder in his absence.

Goes deep for first time in 2021 Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, an additional RBI, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Impact Yelich ended a four-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit game of the campaign, but the most important thing is the fact that he went deep for the first time in 2021. Yelich is hitting .286 on the season but seems to be trending in the right direction after an injury-riddled beginning of the campaign -- he's reached base multiple times in three of his last six appearances.

On bench Saturday Yelich is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yelich has gone hitless with six strikeouts in 10 at-bats since returning from the injured list, though he did draw three walks in Wednesday's contest. With the Brewers facing righty Sonny Gray, the decision is not matchup-based, but rather just a day of rest for Yelich, who has played three of four days since being activated.

Brewers' Yelich returns from injured list to face Royals

Returns from injured list Yelich (back) was activated from the injured list Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Back issues have cost Yelich the majority of the season thus far, limiting him to just 10 games and sending him to the injured list twice. He made what was evidently a premature return in early May, as he was shut back down after playing just one game, but he evidently feels confident that he's good to go this time around. Hoby Milner was optioned in a corresponding move.

Joins team in Kansas City Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Yelich (back) has rejoined the team ahead of its two-game series in Kansas City, Bryan Dee of WTMJ Milwaukee reports. "He's going g...

Impact Though Counsell didn't explicitly say Yelich would be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, the Brewers likely wouldn't have brought him back from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville if they didn't intend to reinstate him to the roster in the near future. Assuming Yelich's back checks out fine when he's evaluated by team doctors, he could slot back into the lineup for Tuesday's series opener. During his three-game rehab assignment over the weekend, Yelich went 0-for-5 with two walks and two strikeouts while playing 13 total innings in left field.
