Christian Yelich Expected to Return in Mid-to-Late May
According to the Milwaukee Brewers, outfielder/designated hitter Christian Yelich's (groin) initial timeline to return from his groin injury is in mid-to-late May, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The 34-year-old veteran and former MVP suffered a strained left groin on Sunday and is expected to be out anywhere from four to six weeks. It's a tough break for the Brewers and fantasy managers alike early in the 2026 season. In the meantime, veteran catcher Gary Sanchez will get more opportunities to serve as Milwaukee's primary DH going forward. Blake Perkins is another player who could benefit from more playing time with Yelich out for an extended period of time. Yelich needs to be stashed in all fantasy formats while he recovers. The former first-rounder in 2010 is a three-time All-Star, and he was hitting .314 (16-for-51) with a homer, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 15 games at the time of his injury over the weekend.
