Christian Yelich Still On The Bench
1 year agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains sidelined on Thursday against the visiting Miami Marlins. Tyrone Taylor is making another start in left field and is batting eighth in the order against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. Yelich is apparently improving and did some baseball activities this week, but he hasn't played since last Friday due to back stiffness, so if he cannot return this weekend against the Washington Nationals, he'll likely need to go on the injured list. Yelich has had a resurgent 2023 campaign, but he's hitting just .152 (7-for-46) with a home run, one double, three RBI, 20 strikeouts and nine runs scored in 13 games (12 starts) since Aug. 25.
