MIL • Outfielder • #22

Milwaukee had some scoring chances, but they were unable to mount a serious comeback effort after falling behind right away when Cubs outfielder Ian Happ connected for a three-run homer in the opening frame. Yelich was the lone Brewers hitter to reach base safely multiple times as they were shut out at Wrigley Field by Chicago starter Matthew Boyd and a quartet of relievers. They’ll need to get their bats going again in Saturday’s decisive Game 5 showdown in Milwaukee if they’re going to keep their season going.

Yelich’s first game as a leadoff hitter can be qualified as a success, even if it comes in an extra-inning loss. His single to center in the second pushed his RBI total to 102, and the four-reach game increased his on-base percentage to .346. Long story short, it seems likely that this isn’t the last time we see Yelich hit leadoff in 2025.

Yelich has been moved up to the top of Milwaukee’s batting order with Jackson Chourio hitting fifth and Sal Frelick moved down to the fifth spot. The 33-year-old has been on a roll lately, batting .296 (8-for-27) with one homer and four RBI over his last seven games.

Yelich got the scoring started in the home half of the first inning with an RBI double off of Caden Dana that plated Jackson Chourio. He then chased Dana from the game with a 409-foot (103.4 mph EV) two-run shot in the fourth inning that increased the Brewers’ lead to 5-0. The 33-year-old outfielder is having an outstanding season in the middle of the Brewers’ lineup, slashing .267/.346/.467 with 29 homers, 99 RBI and 16 stolen bases.

Yelich’s home run was his 28th of the year and first in four games since returning from a five-game absence due to a back injury. Yelich is hitting .267 with an .811 OPS and 95 RBI this year as he looks to put his back issues behind him and finish the season strong.

Yelich rejoins Milwaukee’s lineup following an extended five-game absence due to lower back soreness. It’s an extremely encouraging development that the 33-year-old veteran managed to avoid a trip to the injured list given his lengthy history of back issues. He’s batting cleanup on Monday night when the Brewers face Rangers southpaw Jacob Latz at Globe Life Field.

“We’ll see,” Yelich said when asked about potentially pinch-hitting Sunday in Pittsburgh. The 33-year-old, who has battled back problems for several years, is dealing with renewed soreness but was able to take swings earlier this weekend. That’s a step forward, though he’s not ready for game action yet. A clearer update should come before Monday’s matchup with the Rangers.

Yelich was able to take swings before the game though, which is an encouraging sign. It’s possible that he could return to action on Sunday, but it’s going to depend on how he feels in the morning. Fantasy managers should be sure to check his status prior to Sunday’s series finale.

The Brewers hold a comfortable lead on the top spot in the National League, so there’s no reason to rush Yelich back into action here. They’re going to take it day-to-day and make sure that he’s feeling well enough to go as opposed to rushing him back and risking further aggravation. Jake Bauers will function in his place as the team’s designated hitter on Friday evening and will bat seventh against Johan Oviedo and the Pirates.

Yelich has dealt with persistent back issues throughout his career, and underwent back surgery last summer, so there’s some legitimate cause for concern here. It sounds like a precautionary measure, but he’ll presumably undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the issue. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series finale. It’ll be Jackson Chourio, who was originally sitting out for precautionary reasons with hamstring stiffness, entering the lineup at DH in his place.

Yelich doubled to lead off the top the seventh inning and scored Milwaukee’s first run on a groundout to tie the game. He then took Jeff Hoffman deep for a solo homer in the ninth inning, going back-to-back with Jackson Chourio to put the Brewers on top. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting .270/.351/.470 with 27 homers, 81 runs scored, 92 RBI, and 15 steals across 555 plate appearances.

Yelich, who entered in a little 3-for-27 drought, had the three hardest-hit balls in the game tonight: a 110.5-mph single off Logan Webb, a 106.5-mph, 384-foot lineout to center off Webb and a 102.8-mph single off Spencer Bivens. Seems like a good sign.

Yelich is up to 25 home runs on the year now. The 33-year-old outfielder hit two solo home runs on Friday. Yelich tied the game 1-1 with a home run in the second inning and put the Brewers up 9-8 with a home run in the sixth inning. He’s hitting .272 with an .825 OPS and 86 RBI this season.

Yelich took Yohan Ramirez out of the park in the fifth inning to give Milwaukee a 6-0 lead and Yelich his 23rd homer of the season. He also drew a walk to push his OPS on the season to just a tick above .800. It’s not the MVP version, but it’s pretty darn good.

It’s the second time this season that the Brewers have put together a winning streak of 10 games or longer, which is incredibly impressive. Yelich singled in the first inning, but wound up getting stranded at third base. He then tagged left-hander Andrew Heaney for a 395-foot (104.7 mph EV) solo shot in the third inning that gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead they would never relinquish. With his two-hit attack, the 33-year-old outfielder is now slashing .259/.338/.446 with 22 homers, 75 RBI and 15 stolen bases on the year.

Sal Frelick is also on the bench with lefty Sean Manaea taking the ball for the Mets in this one. It’s a rare off day for Yelich, who has managed to avoid any extended absences this season, splitting time between right field and DH. The 33-year-old veteran is hitting .247 (19-for-77) with two homers and one steal in 19 games since last month’s All-Star break.

Yelich got the scoring started in the contest with an RBI infield single with two outs in the third inning, sparking a four-run uprising that would also see him score on a two-run single by Andrew Vaughn. Yelich also drew a walk in the seventh inning and raced around to score on Isaac Collins’ two-run single. The 33-year-old outfielder is now slashing .261/.343/.446 with 21 homers, 74 RBI and 15 stolen bases (in 20 attempts) in what has been a very strong under-the-radar campaign.

Yelich put the Brewers on the board with a base hit in the first inning to drive in a run before scoring later in the frame. He then led off the third with a solo homer off Jake Irvin. After drawing a walk in the fifth, Yelich knocked a base hit and scored his third run in the ninth. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting .260/.338/.449 with 21 homers, 59 runs scored, 72 RBI, and 15 steals across 444 plate appearances.

The Brewers also got homers from Andrew Vaughn and Sal Frelick in the contest. Yelich’s was his 20th of the year. It’d probably surprise most to hear it’s just the fourth time he’s reached the mark in his career. He had 36 homers in 2018 and 44 in 2019, but his next highest total is 21 from his age-24 season in 2016. He had 19 in 144 games in 2023 and 18 in 156 games in 2017.

Yelich was able to give the Brew Crew a 2-0 lead with a single through the right side in the sixth inning off George Kirby. He’s now up to 66 RBI in 2025, while his stolen base gives him 15. This is not the MVP-level Yelich we saw a few years ago, but it’s certainly fantasy-relevant, and that’s fun to see.

Yelich’s home run was No. 19 on the season for him. The 33-year-old outfielder hit a two-run home run off Mitchell Parker in the third inning. Yelich is hitting .261 with an .800 OPS and 65 RBI on the year.

Yelich tagged Germán Márquez for a 363-foot (102.6 mph EV) solo shot in the home half of the sixth inning that extended the Brewers’ lead to 2-0. That would be his only hit in five at-bats on the day. For the season, the 33-year-old outfielder is slashing .262/.337/.457 with 16 homers, 60 RBI and 12 stolen bases through his first 337 plate appearances.

Yelich is 16-for-30 with two homers and 14 RBI in his last seven games, raising his OPS from .723 to .801. His homer tonight was the 219th of his career, moving him out of a tie with Shin-Soo Choo, Todd Frazier, Bob Horner, Juan Soto and Mark Trumbo for 325th place all-time and into a tie with Jim Bottomley, Al Oliver and Joe Pepitone for 322nd place all-time.

The eighth RBI came off Jonah Bride in the ninth, but it counts. Yelich, whose second three-run double barely missed leaving the park, is just the third player since at least 1901 to knock in eight runs without homering, joining Bill Keister in 1901 and Gave Cravath in 1915. He’s the only one to do it without scoring a run. Yelich’s previous career high for RBI was seven from his three-homer game in 2019.

Yelich had totaled two singles in 11 at-bats since returning Thursday from a bruised right wrist suffered on a HBP, but he hit the ball hard today, with his homer leaving the bat at 108.2 mph and his double checking in at 102.3. The double was just his sixth in 288 plate appearances this season.

Yelich sat out each of the team’s last two games due to renewed swelling in his right wrist after he was hit by a pitch during the team’s last road trip. He’s feeling much improved after a couple of nights off though and is back in there as the club’s designated hitter against Cardinals’ right-hander Sonny Gray. On the season, the dynamic 33-year-old outfielder is hitting .233/.320/.417 with 13 homers, 41 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

This is the second straight day Yelich is out of the lineup because of renewed swelling in his right wrist after being hit by a pitch in Philadelphia on the last road trip. We’ve seen both Bryce Harper and Matt Chapman recently miss a couple of games after being hit by a pitch on the hand and then subsequently go on the injured list, so it’s not out of the question that the same thing happens with Yelich. This is a situation to monitor.
