SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in return Friday Yelich (back) went 3-for-4 with one double, two homers, five RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 16-1 victory over Miami.

Impact Yelich had appeared in just one game since Sept. 8 because of a back injury, but he looked fully rested in his return to action Friday while helping the Brewers clinch a postseason spot with a complete rout of the Marlins. His second-inning homer sailed an estimated 368 feet, and his sixth-inning blast was tabulated at 430 feet. The 31-year-old outfielder now has 19 homers on the season to go along with his 27 stolen bases.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Batting leadoff in return Yelich (back) is starting in left field and batting leadoff in his return to the lineup Friday at Miami.

Impact Yelich has logged only four plate appearances over the last two weeks because of a back injury, but he is ready to give it a go as the Brewers open a three-game weekend series versus the Marlins. When healthy this season, the 31-year-old outfielder has posted a solid .795 OPS with 17 home runs, 70 RBI, 27 stolen bases and 98 runs across 137 games.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out with back injury Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the Cardinals.

Impact Yelich has appeared in only one game since Sept. 8 due to lingering back discomfort, but the NL Central-leading Brewers are refraining from placing him on the 10-day injured list with only 10 games left in the regular season. Mark Canha, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will start across the outfield Thursday in St. Louis.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits again with back injury Yelich (back) is out of the lineup again Wednesday at St. Louis.

Impact Yelich is said to be making progress in his recovery from a lingering back injury, but he has started only one of the Brewers' last 12 games. Tyrone Taylor, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick are starting across the outfield Wednesday as Mark Canha fills the DH role.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again with back issue Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup Tuesday at St. Louis.

Impact Yelich has now started only one of the Brewers' last 11 games due to lingering back discomfort. Tyrone Taylor, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will canvass the outfield Tuesday versus the Cardinals and left-hander Drew Rom.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

IL stint not ruled out The Brewers "will likely have to make a decision" Tuesday to place Yelich (back) on the injured list or not, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Yelich took part in baseball activities before Monday's matchup with the Cardinals, but he is still not feeling good enough to occupy his usual spot in left field and will open on the bench for the ninth time in 10 games. He has not taken the field since Sept. 15, so if he does wind up on the injured list the Brewers would at least be able to backdate the transaction.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will not start Monday Yelich (back) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact The Brewers continue to take the cautious route with Yelich, and he will open on the bench for the ninth time in 10 games. It's unclear how he is feeling, so it remains to be seen when he will return to action. However, he remains on the active roster for the time being.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Sunday's lineup Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact The 32-year-old rejoined the starting nine Friday after a six-game absence due to back stiffness, but he's now on the bench Sunday for the second consecutive contest. The Brewers now hold a 6.5-game lead over the Cubs in the NL Central, so manager Craig Counsell is likely to be extra cautious with Yelich down the stretch, especially given the outfielder's long history of back issues.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Yelich (back) will sit Saturday against the Nationals.

Impact Yelich returned to the lineup Friday after missing the previous six games due to back stiffness. His absence Saturday is due to the same issue, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, but with manager Craig Counsell saying merely, "I just don't think he's 100 percent," this looks more like a maintenance day than a setback. Between Yelich's star status, his history of back problems and the Brewers' 5.5-game lead atop the NL Central, it's likely the team will continue to be cautious with him over the last two weeks of the regular season. Mark Canha starts in left field Saturday.

Back in lineup Yelich (back) is starting in left field and batting in the leadoff spot Friday against Washington.

Impact Back stiffness has kept Yelich sidelined for the past week, but he'll return to his usual spot at the top of the order Friday. The 31-year-old outfielder has been in a slump at the plate recently, but he still holds an .864 OPS against right-handers this season.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Friday Yelich (back) will likely return to the Brewers' lineup Friday against Washington, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Yelich hasn't played in a game since Friday, but his absence is set to cap out at a week. The former NL MVP has gone cold following a prolonged hot streak earlier in the summer, hitting just 3-for-24 with two RBI and 12 strikeouts since Sept. 1.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out with stiff back Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the Marlins.

Impact Yelich was able to participate in pregame workouts Tuesday and Wednesday, but he hasn't played at all since last Friday due to lingering back stiffness. Tyrone Taylor, Joey Wiemer and Sal Frelick will again start across the outfield for the Brewers in Thursday's series finale against Miami.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again with stiff back Yelich (back) is out of the lineup again Tuesday versus the Marlins.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Improving, but out for third straight Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Though he'll be out of the lineup for the third day in a row, Yelich has reportedly shown improvement in his recovery from back stiffness, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Yelich ramped up his activity and was spotted running in the outfield Monday, perhaps paving the way for him to return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday. Tyrone Taylor will cover left field in Yelich's stead Monday.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Sunday Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yelich was a precautionary scratch from Saturday's lineup due to a back issue, and he'll sit again for Sunday's series finale in the Bronx. Manager Craig Counsell labeled the outfielder as day-to-day, so there doesn't appear to be significant concern for the injury at this point. Tyrone Taylor, Sal Frelick and Mark Canha will start from left to right in the outfield while William Contreras rests his legs as the designated hitter.
