Christian Yelich - Plans to rest and rehab back injuryYelich has elected to rest and rehab his back injury, delaying a potential surgery until the offseason, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ImpactRosenthal says offseason surgery for Yelich is viewed as a "strong possibility," but the three-time All-Star will put off the operation for now as he works to return to the field for the Brewers. Yelich aggravated his recurring back injury Tuesday and landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. It's not clear yet how long he might be sidelined.

Joe Ross - Struggles again in rehab startRoss (back) made a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville and gave up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings.
ImpactRoss tossed 80 pitches (50 strikes) in Wednesday's outing and looks ready to return from the 60-day injured list from a workload standpoint, but it's unclear if the Brewers will turn to him to fill the vacant spot in their rotation. Before landing on the IL on May 21 with a low back strain, Ross turned in unremarkable ratios (4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) over his nine starts, and his recent results at Nashville haven't inspired much confidence. He began a rehab assignment earlier this month and has now made four minor-league starts in total, but he's labored in both of his past two outings, striking out six while allowing 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings between those starts. Milwaukee will require a fifth starter again this coming Tuesday versus Atlanta, but Ross' poor form of late could prompt the team to opt for a bullpen game rather than activating the right-hander.
