Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yelich was pulled out of the game as a precaution on Monday due to back tightness. It appears the team is giving him an extra rest day to fully recover on Tuesday. Owen Miller will cover left field and bat leadoff versus lefty Jordan Montgomery on Tuesday. Miller might be an interesting dart throw in DFS contests considering he's batting first here.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) was removed from Monday's 18-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals mid-game. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, manager Craig Counsel is being careful while the former MVP is experiencing back tightness, as the score was already 8-0 when he left. Fantasy managers need to keep their fingers crossed that he doesn't miss anytime, as Yelich has been on a tear recently and owns a .258/.341/.424 slash line with seven homers, 32 runs, 23 RBI, and nine...

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich hit his fourth homer of the season on Thursday. Yelich has been struggling all season as he upped his average to .243 to start the year. His 27.2% strikeout rate is part of the reason for his struggles, but he hasn't been hitting the ball with the authority he had during his best years. Thursday was a rare productive day as he went 3-for-5 with the home run, two RBI, and two runs scored.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said that he "kind of just went off the grid" and "enjoyed the down time" of the off-season to help prepare for the 2023 season, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. The 31-year-old said he feels in a "better place" mentally and physically compared to the past couple of seasons. This is encouraging news for the Brewers and fantasy managers, as Yelich posted a disappointing .252/.355/.383 slash line with 14 home runs, 99 runs scored, 57 RBI, and 19 stolen ...

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has not been himself since his two seasons of MVP ball in 2018 and '19. He has completely fallen off the map, and the Brewers are looking for a technique to reinvigorate Yeli's success. The 31-year-old mustered a .738 OPS in 2022 while smacking 14 HRs. He hit .252, and Yelich is improving his average by the year since hitting .205 in 2020. Yelich has always been a high strikeout hitter, and his 24.1% strikeout rate isn't the cause of his mishaps. His...

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Monday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Ryan Feltner. Yelich missed the last three games with neck soreness, but he'll return on Monday for the start of a series against the Rockies in hitter-friendly Coors Field. Fantasy managers will want to get the 30-year-old left-handed slugger back into their lineups, as Yelich has been very productive in his last 16 games, hitting .317 ...

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is not in the lineup on Sunday vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yelich has now missed three straight games after exiting Thursday's contest vs. the D-Backs early with neck discomfort. Milwaukee is hoping he can avoid the injured list but fantasy managers still need to consider him day-to-day. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .259/.360/.387 with 11 long balls, 45 RBI, and 16 thefts over 468 at-bats on the season. Rookie Esteury Ruiz is ...

Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is day-to-day after leaving the game early on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with neck discomfort. "He just irritated his neck on one of the swings in that second at-bat. We're day-to-day. I think there's a chance he misses a couple of days but I wouldn't worry about it past that," Counsell said. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Yelich for a few days, but it doesn't appear to be a ...
