Sizzling this spring Yelich is 8-for-18 (.444) with two home runs, two doubles, three RBI and a 3:4 BB:K through nine games this spring.

Impact Yelich is doing his best to prove his 2020 campaign was an aberration, hitting for both average and power and posting a 1.413 OPS this spring. He has also cut back on the strikeouts a bit after being rung up a whopping 30.8 percent of the time a season ago. It's not exactly clear where Yelich will slot into the Brewers' batting order when the regular season gets underway, but expect him to be hitting either second or third nearly every day.

Rejoins lineup Friday Yelich (back) is starting in left field and batting third in Friday's spring game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 29-year-old has been held out of the lineup this week while dealing with back tightness, but he'll return to the starting nine Friday. There was never much concern over the injury from the Brewers, and Yelich should be starting in left field Opening Day, barring a setback.

Tending to minor back issue Manager Craig Counsell said Yelich would remain out of the Brewers lineup for Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers due to back tightness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com report...

Impact Counsell emphasized that the back issue is a minor concern for Yelich, who would have been ready to go if the Brewers were playing a regular-season game. The star outfielder was feeling a little sore after an extensive batting-practice session Monday, so the Brewers merely gave him a second straight day off as a precaution. After a team off day Wednesday, Yelich will likely check back into the spring lineup Thursday versus the Angels.

Scratched but not hurt Yelich was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres but isn't hurt, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Brewers have every reason to be cautious with even a minor injury for Yelich, but that doesn't appear to be what's happened here. Yelich is simply getting a day off, which should have no meaningful impact on his readiness for the upcoming season.

Hits first homer this spring Yelich went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's spring game against the Giants.

Impact After going 1-for-6 over his first three appearances of the spring, Yelich found his groove a bit Tuesday and notched his first long ball of the exhibition season. The 29-year-old had a rough go of it in 2020, but he is now more than a year removed from fracturing his kneecap and has had a normal offseason preparation-wise, so there's ample reason to expect a bounceback in 2021.
