Stays hot with two-run bomb Yelich went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 win over the Cubs.

Impact Yelich took Daniel Palencia deep for a two-run homer in the sixth inning, capping Milwaukee's four-run frame. The 34-year-old has begun to heat up at the plate, going 10-for-27 (.370) with five extra-base hits over his last eight games. Despite the recent surge, Yelich's overall production remains underwhelming with a .238/.319/.388 slash line, 10 homers, 22 doubles, two triples, 49 RBI, 57 runs and 11 steals across 98 games.

Collects three hits Friday Yelich went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 6-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Yelich doubled home Jake Bauers in the first inning to give Milwaukee an early 2-0 advantage, and later added singles in the sixth and seventh innings. This was Yelich's sixth three-hit performance of the season -- and first since July 7. Even though his overall numbers have been down this season, the veteran outfielder has been seeing the ball well of late. He's hit safely in all but one of his last eight games while slashing .393/.438/.607 with a homer, three doubles, seven RBI, five runs scored and a 3:7 BB:K over that stretch.

Homers, drives in four Yelich went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 22-0 blowout win over the Mariners.

Impact Yelich delivered one of the biggest blows of Milwaukee's offensive explosion, taking Bryce Miller deep for a three-run homer in the fifth inning. He later added his season-high fourth RBI on a sacrifice fly during the Brewers' nine-run eighth inning. The big performance was a welcome sight after Yelich entered Tuesday batting just .133 with a 1:15 BB:K across 13 August games. It's been a down year overall for the 34-year-old in his 14th MLB season, as he's slashing .228/.308/.374 while tracking toward career-low production in several major offensive categories.

Resting up Wednesday Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact The Brewers and Padres are closing out their series with a day game after a night game, and a lefty (Robbie Ray) is on the hill for San Diego, so the left-handed-hitting Yelich will unsurprisingly receive the afternoon off. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup in Yelich's usual spot at designated hitter.

Snaps homer drought Monday Yelich went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Padres on Monday.

Impact Yelich provided all of Milwaukee's scoring with his two-run blast in the second inning. It was his first long ball over his past 14 contests and just his second across 28 games since Independence Day. Yelich has been quiet on the power front this season -- after mashing 29 homers in the regular season last year, his most since 2019, he's gone deep just eight times through 82 contests in 2026. That's led to a .694 OPS, which is on pace to be the lowest mark of his career.

Impact Yelich started the previous six games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-23 with eight strikeouts during that span. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter, which allows Gary Sanchez to pick up a start behind the plate.

Logs 10th steal Yelich went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Yelich had been held hitless over his first three games in August, and this was his first multi-hit effort since July 22 versus the Mets. The 34-year-old logged his 10th steal of the season, reaching double digits in thefts for the fifth year in a row and the 11th time in his 14-season career. Yelich has added a .234 average, .694 OPS, seven home runs, 38 RBI, 46 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples over 77 contests in 2026.
