CHRISTIAN YELICH NEWS

Takes swings Saturday Yelich (back) swung in a batting cage Saturday and "will see how he feels tomorrow," Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

Impact A sore back has kept Yelich out of Milwaukee's lineup for each of the Brewers' past four games, but the team hasn't put him on the IL. It thus stands to reason that the veteran slugger could return to action soon if he recovers well from his batting-cage session Saturday. Jake Bauers has gotten a turn at DH each of the past two days with Yelich on the shelf.

Sitting fourth straight Yelich (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Yelich hasn't played since Monday due to lingering back issues, and given the outfielder's history with back problems, the Brewers likely won't risk rushing him back until he's fully healthy. Jake Bauers will draw another start as Milwaukee's DH on Saturday and bat fifth.

Idle again Friday Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Yelich's back flared up before Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, and he'll be out of the lineup Friday for a third straight game due to the issue. Expect Milwaukee to take it day by day with the 33-year-old outfielder, but considering Yelich's history of back injuries, the Brewers likely won't rush him back. Jake Bauers will fill the DH spot Friday while Isaac Collins, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick fill the outfield from left to right.

Brewers and Phillies play in series rubber match

Won't play Thursday Yelich (back) isn't expected to play Thursday against the Phillies, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Manager Pat Murphy said after Wednesday's win that Yelich began experiencing soreness in his lower back about a week ago. As a result, the veteran outfielder sat out of Wednesday's contest, and the plan is to keep him on the bench until the team begins its weekend series in Pittsburgh. Jackson Chourio worked as the Brewers' designated hitter with Blake Perkins in center field in Yelich's absence, and the Brewers may go for a similar look Thursday against southpaw Ranger Suarez.

Scratched Wednesday Yelich was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact The Brewers haven't offered any details as to why Yelich was taken out of the starting nine, but some clarity should come in the near future. Jackson Chourio -- originally slated for a day off while managing a hamstring cramp -- will step in as Milwaukee's designated hitter and bat second.

Taking seat for day game Yelich is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact With Milwaukee wrapping up its series against Arizona with a day game after a night game, Yelich will receive a breather after he had started in each of the last 17 contests. Yelich's absence will clear the way for William Contreras to get a break from catching yet remain in the lineup as Milwaukee's designated hitter.
