Christian Yelich Won't Return Saturday
4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers star outfielder Christian Yelich (back) will not be activated from the injured list on Saturday, the first day he's eligible to come off, according to manager Craig Counsell. "He won't hit on the field," Counsell said Friday morning. "He'll hit in the cage." Yelich has been out since April 11 with a sore lower back, but the team has gone 6-3 in his absence. Before his injury, he was hitting .333 (10-for-30). While Yelich won't return on Saturday, he could be back shortly after that, as he will be on the field working out on Friday. Fantasy managers must remain patient, and hopefully the 29-year-old will be back in the lineup by early next week. With both Yelich and Lorenzo Cain out with injuries, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Billy McKinney are seeing regular playing time for the Brew Crew.
