CHRISTIAN YELICH NEWS

Not in Friday's lineup Yelich is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Yelich went hitless in Thursday's doubleheader and is just 1-for-14 in his career against Pirates starter Derek Holland, so manager Craig Counsell decided to give him a day off Friday. Mark Mathias will get the start in left field in Yelich's place.

Records second steal Yelich went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Monday's victory over the Reds.

Impact Yelich's batting average on the season is still below the Mendoza Line, but that's still mainly a product of his extremely slow start. Over his last 20 games Yelich reached base at a .407 clip and also added 11 extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 17 runs and two steals.

Single, homer in Minnesota Yelich went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's win over the Twins.

Impact While Yelich still sits with just one stolen base, there are no lingering questions about his bat after his 1-for-27 start. He is 15-for-51 (.294 average) with five homers and 13 walks in his last 15 games, good for an OPS well north of 1.000 during that span.

Slugs game-winning homer Yelich went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Friday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact With the Brewers down 3-1 in the sixth and two runners aboard, Yelich actually got a pitch to hit from Alec Mills and made no mistake on it, launching it over the fence for his fifth long ball of 2020. The 28-year-old is still only hitting .172 on the year due to a slow start, but he's looked more like himself lately -- over his last nine games Yelich is slashing .267/.405/.767 with four homers and nine RBI.

Swipes first bag Yelich went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

Impact Yelich's modest four-game hitting streak was snapped in the loss, but the slugger did swipe his first bag of the season after being plunked in the first inning. Yelich notched double-digit steals in six of his first seven MLB campaigns -- including a career-high 30 thefts last season -- but he'll have a hard time reaching that mark in 2020 given the abbreviated schedule.
