Getting day off Thursday Yelich is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in St. Louis.

Big day in Tuesday's matinee Yelich went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals.

Impact The veteran slugger led off the twin bill with a ground rule double before driving in runs with a single in the third innings and another two-bagger in the seventh. It was an encouraging effort from Yelich, but after he went 0-for-5 with another RBI in the nightcap, he's batting just .138 (4-for-29) to begin July with a homer, a steal, three runs and five RBI over seven games.
