Yelich is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich will get a day off after making a key error that cost the Brewers the chance to close out a victory against the Cubs on Saturday. More positively, he is riding a five-game hitting streak during which he's hit .286 with a homer, three RBI and six runs scored. Keston Hiura will enter the lineup and hit sixth while Andrew McCutchen will take over in left field.

Yelich went 1-for-4 with a home run, two runs and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich had not left the yard since July 2 and had not homered in Milwaukee since May 5, but he snapped both streaks with a 451-foot no-doubter in the fifth inning of Tuesday's contest. The homer was Yelich's only hit in 29 at-bats over his last eight games, but it could provide the spark he needs to get back on track.

Yelich went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Though the pair of walks were a welcome sight, Yelich has largely floundered in the leadoff role for Milwaukee over the past week. In his last seven games, Yelich is 0-for-25 with five walks against eight strikeouts, and he's scored just one run over that stretch. Manager Craig Counsell could soon consider moving Yelich down in the order as the slumping Brewers look to keep pace with the Cardinals atop the National League Central standings.

Yelich went 3-for-4 with a double, a hit-by-pitch and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds. He was also caught stealing for the first time this year.
EDGE Analysis
The double was Yelich's first extra-base hit in six games. Since the All-Star break, the outfielder has hit safely in 13 of 14 games, going 20-for-56 (.357). He struggled at the plate early in the year, but he's up to a .266/.368/.397 slash line with eight home runs, 35 RBI, 70 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 102 contests.

Yelich went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich has recorded three steals in his last six games, and he's up to 16 thefts without getting caught this year. Across his last 14 contests, he's batting .339 (19-for-56) with six extra-base hits and a 13:18 BB:K. The 30-year-old outfielder remains a fixture atop the Brewers' lineup, and he's up to a .261/.363/.391 slash line with eight home runs, 35 RBI and 69 runs scored through 444 plate appearances.

Yelich was ejected from Thursday's game against the Pirates for arguing balls and strikes, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts to begin Thursday's matchup but was tossed in the top of the seventh inning after being called out on strikes on a pitch that appeared to be outside the zone. Assuming Thursday's ejection doesn't result in further discipline, the 30-year-old should be available for Friday's series opener against the Reds.

Yelich went 1-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored and a stolen base in an 8-7 loss to the Pirates on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich had another good night from the leadoff spot, scoring all three times he reached base. He also swiped second base off Pirates starter Tyler Beede for his 15th stolen base of the season. Yelich has been red hot as of late and extended his hitting streak to 12 games with the performance. The 30-year-old left fielder is slashing .357/.471/.524 over the last 15 days.

Yelich went 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-4 victory against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich extended his hitting streak to nine games, and he has tallied multiple hits in four of those contests. The left fielder also swiped his 14th bag of the campaign, though it was just his second in July. Yelich's ability to steal bases is his primary fantasy appeal in 2022 -- he has only eight homers and a modest .259/.360/.396 slash line on the season.

Yelich went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The 2018 National League MVP has picked up hits in each of his last six starts, good for his third-longest streak of the season. Unfortunately, Yelich is also striking out at an elevated 34.5 percent clip during that span, and none of his four extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple) were home runs. Though Yelich hasn't been a total disaster for fantasy purposes this season due largely to his 13 stolen bases, he's far off from reaching the immense power production and exceptional batting averages that made him a first-round value during his first two seasons in Milwaukee.

Yelich (back) went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich sat out three straight games with the back issue before returning with an effective performance Friday. He's still searching for his first multi-hit game in July after finishing June with three such efforts. The outfielder owns a .251/.349/.382 slash line with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 58 runs scored and 13 stolen bases as the Brewers' main leadoff hitter.
