2 years agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will serve as the team's leadoff hitter for the first time this season as the team takes on right-hander Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies. Kolten Wong (calf) has been the team's primary leadoff hitter this year, but he was lifted from Tuesday's game with a calf injury and he's being held out on Wednesday. Yelich doesn't have the most alluring surface numbers so far this year as he's slashing .224/.316/.363 with five home runs, seven stolen bases, 21 RBI and 33 runs over 54 games. However, there's plenty to like from his underlying metrics, including an 89th percentile average exit velocity (91.7 mph) and a 95th percentile hard-hit rate (51.4%). Fantasy managers should start to see the 30-year-old veteran produce some more impressive numbers in the months to come.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
