Christian Yelich - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Back in action Sunday Yelich (back) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Sunday against the Twins.

Impact The veteran slugger made his return from a groin strain Tuesday versus San Diego and then missed the past four games due to back soreness, but he's ready to rejoin the lineup after fully participating in pregame activities Saturday. Yelich is hardly fully in the clear given his long history of back problems, but his return to the lineup is an encouraging sign for his season-long outlook.

Impact Yelich will sit out Saturday's game -- his fourth consecutive missed start -- but is scheduled for full participation in pregame activities. The Brewers will wait to see how he feels afterward before deciding on his future availability, but a good workout Saturday would go a long way toward helping his chances of returning to the starting nine soon and avoiding another trip to the injured list.

Brewers Get Optimistic Christian Yelich Injury News The Milwaukee Brewers got a Christian Yelich update on Friday.

No decision on IL stint The Brewers are giving it "a couple of days" before deciding whether Yelich (back) goes on the 10-day injured list, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The injury bug has hit Yelich, who returned from a one-month stint on the IL on Tuesday due to a left groin strain, only to be out of action while working through back soreness. Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday that the Brewers were going to decide on whether to place Yelich back on the IL, but it looks like the team will take some more time to evaluate its options. Yelich is not in Friday's lineup against the Twins but will try and take some swings before the game and over the weekend. Andrew Vaughn should see a bump in playing time as the Brewers' designated hitter for as long as Yelich is sidelined.

Remains out of lineup Friday Yelich (back) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Impact Yelich has now missed three straight starts with a back injury. Brewers manager Pat Murphy had indicated Thursday that a decision on whether to put Yelich on the 10-day injured list could be made Friday, so it could qualify as good news that no roster move has been made yet with the 34-year-old. With Yelich still out, Andrew Vaughn will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter Friday.

Impact Yelich missed a second straight start Thursday against the Padres due to a back injury. He's got a long history of back problems, and the Brewers will see how he feels when he gets to the ballpark Friday before they make a decision on Yelich's status. If Yelich needs another IL stint -- he just returned from a groin injury Tuesday -- Andrew Vaughn would receive an uptick in playing time.

Out of lineup again Yelich is out of the lineup against San Diego on Thursday for the second consecutive game due to back soreness, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 reports.

Impact Yelich will continue to treat his sore back as he sits out another game against the Padres. The 34-year-old spent a month on the IL for a groin injury, yet now a new injury has presented itself in his recent return to action. If Yelich were to make his return tomorrow, it would be when Milwaukee heads to Minnesota for a three-game set with the Twins.

Tending to sore back Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres due to back soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yelich had missed about a month due to a strained left groin before returning to action as the Brewers' designated hitter for Tuesday's 6-4 win and going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The groin presented no issues for Yelich in his return to the lineup, but the 34-year-old is now being viewed as day-to-day with a new health concern. While the skipper suggested that Yelich's absence from the lineup is in part precautionary, it's worth noting that the 2018 NL MVP has a long history of back problems and underwent a microdiscectomy in August 2024. The Brewers will wait and see how Yelich responds to a day off before determining his next steps.

Hitless in return Yelich went 0-for-4 in a 6-4 win against San Diego on Tuesday.

Impact Yelich returned from a one-month absence necessitated by a strained left groin and worked as the Brewers' DH, slotting in third in the batting order. The veteran slugger looked rusty in his return, striking out twice while going hitless in four plate appearances. Nonetheless, Yelich is likely to be a lineup regular now that he's healthy again.

Brewers' Christian Yelich comes off injured list after missing a month with an adductor strain

Christian Yelich has been activated from the injured list by the Milwaukee Brewers after missing a month with an adductor strain

MAY 12 • Associated Press

Activated from injured list The Brewers reinstated Yelich (groin) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact After spending a month on the injured list due to a strained left groin, Yelich is ready to rejoin the active roster ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Padres. The veteran slugger was hitting well prior to the injury with one homer, three steals and an .826 OPS through 15 games, and he should operate as Milwaukee's primary designated hitter now that he's healthy.

Nearing live ABs Yelich (groin) is expected to progress to facing living pitching and running the bases early next week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran slugger continues working his way back from a strained left groin, and he remains on track to return in mid-to-late May. Yelich was off to a strong start to the season prior to the injury with a homer, three steals, 10 RBI, 10 runs and a .314/.375/.451 slash line in 15 games.

Takes batting practice on field Yelich (groin) took batting practice on the field Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact It's the first time Yelich has taken batting practice on the field with the rest of his teammates since he went down with a left groin strain in mid-April. The Brewers laid out a 4-to-6 week timeline for Yelich's return when the injury occurred, and he looks to be trending toward being activated toward the front-end of that timetable.

Remains on track Yelich (groin) is ramping up his hitting and running work and still has an estimated return of mid-to-late May, Sophia Minnaert of Brewers.tv reports.

Impact Yelich landed on the shelf April 14 with a left groin strain and was given an initial recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks, and he has apparently progressed as expected thus far. Gary Sanchez has operated as Milwaukee's primary designated hitter with Yelich on the shelf, but Tyler Black has also picked up a couple starts since getting promoted from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.
