  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Knocks homer, three hits in win

    Yelich went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Cardinals.

    The former MVP notched his first homer of June when he tied the contest at 1-1 with a 390-foot shot off St. Louis starter Miles Mikolas in the fourth inning. Yelich entered this game on a cold spell, slashing just .222/.333/.306 across 42 plate appearances this month while serving as the primary designated hitter for Milwaukee. The 33-year-old now sports a .239/.323/.427 slash line overall with 14 homers, 10 steals, 43 RBI and 35 runs scored through 288 plate appearances.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Back in action Thursday

    Yelich (wrist) will return to the starting lineup Thursday against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    After missing two starts against Atlanta due to a swollen right wrist, Yelich seems to be feeling well enough to rejoin the starting nine for Thursday's series opener. The 33-year-old outfielder showed flashes of his old self at the end of May and beginning of June but has since cooled off, going just 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts across his last five games.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Tending to swollen wrist

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Yelich is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to renewed swelling in his right wrist, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Yelich first injured his wrist June 1, when he left a 5-2 win over the Phillies after being hit by a pitch. He returned to the lineup a day later and had started seven straight games, slashing .240/.345/.360 with a home run and four walks during that stretch. However, Murphy said that Yelich aggravated the wrist injury on a slide over the weekend, and after starting in Monday's 7-1 loss to Atlanta, Yelich will wind up taking a seat for the final two games of the series. Per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, X-rays on Yelich's wrist have returned negative, and he isn't expected to be sent in for imaging on the wrist. Instead, the Brewers will have him take some swings in batting practice Wednesday with the hope that he'll demonstrate enough improvement to rejoin the lineup at some point during the team's four-game series with the Cardinals that begins Thursday.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Idle for second straight game

    Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Though the Brewers haven't indicated that Yelich is nursing with an injury, his absence from the lineup against a right-handed starting pitcher (Spencer Schwellenbach) for the second game in a row suggests he's dealing with something. Manager Pat Murphy will likely shed more light on Yelich's condition later Wednesday, but for now, the three-time All-Star can be viewed as day-to-day. With Yelich on the bench, William Contreras will get a day off from catching duties and will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Taking seat Tuesday

    Yelich isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Yelich will get a chance to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Jake Bauers to serve as Milwaukee's DH and bat fourth.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Cleared to start Monday

    Yelich (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Yelich was forced out of Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies when he was struck on the right hand by a pitch during his lone plate appearance of the day, but he was fortunate to avoid any major damage after X-rays came back negative. Following the game, Yelich said that he was still dealing with some swelling and soreness on the hand that made it difficult to grip a bat, but he appears to have made good progress overnight. He'll be back in the lineup for the series opener in Cincinnati and will look to continue what's been his most productive offensive stretch of the season. Over his last nine starts, Yelich has gotten on base at a .525 clip and has slugged five home runs to go along with two steals.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Stays hot with four hits

    Yelich went 4-for-6 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's 17-7 win over the Phillies.

    After walloping two home runs in Friday's series opener, Yelich took a more contact-based approach Saturday as the Brewers finished with a season-high 23 hits. Though his .737 OPS on the season represents a 173-point drop from the 2024 regular season, Yelich has been running hot at the plate lately. He's in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak and is slashing .472/.513/.917 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 13 RBI and 10 runs during that stretch.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Departs with bruised hand

    Yelich was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies due to a right hand contusion.

    Yelich was hit by a pitch during his first plate appearance and was replaced by a pinch hitter for his second time up Sunday. The veteran slugger is likely to undergo imaging to determine the severity of the injury.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: X-rays return negative

    Yelich had X-rays on his bruised right hand come back negative after leaving Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

    The veteran slugger departed Sunday's contest after being hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance of the day. According to Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, Yelich said after the game that the swelling and soreness in his hand made it difficult to grip a bat, but X-rays ruled out a more significant injury. The Brewers are viewing him as day-to-day heading into their three-game series in Cincinnati that begins Monday.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Goes deep twice in win

    Yelich went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.

    Yelich hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning and then crushed a 420-foot solo shot in the ninth. He extended his hitting streak to eight games, a stretch that includes five multi-hit performances, five homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. While he's slashing a modest .220/.305/.416, the 33-year-old has still produced 12 long balls, 38 RBI, 30 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 236 plate appearances.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Smacks walk-off grand slam

    Yelich went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

    Yelich was the hero Tuesday, walking off the Red Sox with a grand slam in the 10th inning. After an eight-game stretch during which Yelich went just 2-for-32 at the plate, he's tallied nine hits, including three homers, and has driven in eight runs over his last five games. Yelich still owns a low .210 batting average but he's now up to 10 steals and could get to 30 for just the second time in his career.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Absent from Monday's lineup

    Yelich is not in in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Yelich turned in a multi-homer game last week and has collected seven hits in his last four games, but the Brewers are facing tough lefty Garrett Crochet in the series opener, so it seems like a decent time to get Yelich a rest. The 33-year-old outfielder/DH is batting just .127/.225/.127 against left-handed pitching so far this season.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Posts 11th career multi-homer game

    Yelich went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.

    Thursday marked the 11th career multi-homer game for Yelich, who matched a season high in RBI. The veteran outfielder has struggled mightily at the plate overall this season, and he's batting just .136 with four big flies, seven RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 81 at-bats. Yelich has made just six appearances in the outfield this year, which should help keep the slugger healthy, and his strong 47.6 percent hard-hit rate on the campaign offers cause for optimism. However, he's currently being dragged down by a 63 percent groundball rate, which is the highest in the league among qualified batters by over five percentage points.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Homers, steals in win

    Yelich went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

    Yelich homered and stole a base in the same game for the second time this week and the fourth time this season. He's struggled overall in May, though, going just 6-for-35 with a 1:13 BB:K in nine games. On the season, he carries a disappointing .208 batting average but continues to provide value with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight steals across 165 plate appearances.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Shows off power, speed in victory

    Yelich went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 win against the Astros.

    Yelich hit the only home run in the contest, smashing a 413-foot, two-run shot to center field in the third inning. The veteran slugger also swiped a bag following an eighth-inning walk and subsequently came around to score. It was the second time this season that Yelich has homered and stolen a base in the same contest. That could be a sign Yelich is emerging from a rut that saw him go 1-for-20 with 10 strikeouts over his previous five games heading into Monday.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Absent from lineup Thursday

    Yelich is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the White Sox.

    Yelich will get the afternoon off after starting every game since April 15. William Contreras will occupy the designated-hitter spot Thursday, while Eric Haase will do the catching and bat ninth.

  • Brewers' Christian Yelich: Swipes sixth base in win

    Yelich went 2-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Yelich contributed early and often Sunday, scoring a run in the first inning, swiping a bag in the third and driving in two runs in the fourth. The 33-year-old has been on fire over his past 10 games, tallying five multi-hit efforts with three extra-base hits, 12 RBI, six runs scored and three steals. On the season, he's slashing .238/.345/.416 with five homers, 23 RBI, 14 runs scored and six steals across 119 plate appearances.
