Christian Yelich News
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 0-for-2 with two walks in the Brewers' 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Yelich missed multiple games due to back tightness last week, but he returned over the weekend. His power is up this season, as he's on pace to reach 20 home runs for the first time since 2019 if he can stay healthy. Staying healthy has been a challenge for Yelich since that 2019 season, but he played in 154 games last year. His average hasn't seen noticeable improvement, however, as he's hitting .251 entering play Wednesday after hitting .252 last year and .248 in 2021. Yelich continues to be a valuable source of stolen bases with 11 on the year. The power and speed carry his value in rotisserie formats, so long as he can stay on the field.
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 stolen bases over 40 games. Stay tuned for more updates on the situation.

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 ISO numbers, however, have regressed exponentially since his MVP days. Yeli amassed a .130 ISO this past year, and we haven't seen much power from him in a while. Let's hope the California native can exceed ATC's projected .249/.343/.402 slash line with 17 homer runs and 15 stolen bases because we've all been waiting for the Yeli return. Most importantly, he's given a 125.32 ADP which is a good approximation considering his recent numbers.
