43 seconds agoMLB.com's Adam McCalvy writes that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) isn't a lock to be ready for Opening Day in late March after having back surgery last August. When Yelich does make his return, it's a good bet that the Brewers will ease him in as the designated hitter often. The good news is Milwaukee has plenty of outfield depth if Yelich isn't ready right away. Specifically, the 33-year-old veteran outfielder had a microdiscectomy to fix a herniated disc in his lower back. The Brew Crew will ease Yelich in during spring training. Before being shut down with his back injury in 2024, the former MVP and three-time All-Star was raking, slashing .315/.406/.504 with a .909 OPS, 11 homers, 42 RBI, 21 steals and 44 runs scored in 73 games played. There's clear risk here for fantasy managers, but if Yelich bounces back to his pre-injury form, he'll be a steal. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 26 outfielder.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
