Yelich (neck) will start in left field and bat leadoff in Monday's game in Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich's return from a three-game absence due to neck soreness is a major boon for fantasy managers as the Brewers begin a three-game set at MLB's most hitter-friendly venue. Before the neck issue surfaced, Yelich had been in the midst of one of his most productive stretches of the season. Over his final 15 games in August, Yelich slashed .328/.400/.500 with three home runs, 12 runs and 10 RBI.

Yelich (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Yelich took swings earlier Sunday and is showing improvement as he works through a sore neck, but he'll remain on the bench for a third straight game in any event. Esteury Ruiz will pick up another start in left field in place of Yelich, who didn't rule out a return to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Colorado.

Yelich went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 9-7 win over the Cubs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich hasn't showed much power this season and is slugging a mere .396 in 455 at-bats. The home run gives him 11 on the year, which is a far cry from his 2018 and 2019 seasons, when he hit 36 and 44, respectively. Yelich's main category contribution this year has been his ability to tally runs from the top of the Brewers lineup. He has 83 runs this season and could flirt with his fourth 100-run season by season's end.

EDGE Analysis
Yelich launched a three-run shot in the seventh inning that scored Kolten Wong and Jace Peterson, then reached home again on a Willy Adames homer in the eighth.

Yelich will start in left field and hit third Monday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich had previously batted leadoff in the last 58 games in which he started, but manager Craig Counsell will switch things up and put Yelich back in the lineup spot he opened the season in. The 2018 National League MVP had a rough go of it earlier in August, but he's gotten back on track a bit, hitting .286 (6-for-21) and posting an .804 OPS over his last six games.
