Yelich is batting leadoff and serving as the designated hitter Monday night against the Padres, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first time this season that Yelich will get a look in the leadoff spot, resulting in Sal Frelick being bumped down to the No. 5 spot in the order. Yelich hasn't had a great month of September at the plate thus far, batting .231 with two home runs, eight RBI, one stolen base and six runs scored in 14 matchups.

Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich will dodge a same-handed matchup against southpaw Matthew Liberatore on Sunday, clearing a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Rhys Hoskins. While starting in each of Milwaukee's previous 11 games, Yelich went 12-for-48 (.250 average) with two home runs.

Yelich went 3-for-5 with an RBI double and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-2 victory over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich opened the scoring with an RBI double to right field in the first inning, and then added his 29th homer of the season with a two-run shot to straightaway center in the fourth inning. The 33-year-old has been locked in since the start of August, batting .303/.384/.538 with seven doubles, nine homers and 30 RBI over his last 38 games.

Yelich went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in an 8-2 win over the Cardinals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich clubbed his 28th homer of the year and his first of the month of September. The 33-year-old slugger has been a five-category fantasy producer in 2025, batting .267 with 18 doubles, 95 RBI, 84 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 136 games. Yelich is also two long balls away from the third 30-homer campaign of his career and five RBI shy of his second career 100-RBI season.

Yelich went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and a stolen base during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich returned Monday from a five-game absence due to a back injury. He didn't seem to have any restrictions Tuesday, stealing his 16th base of the season and legging out his 18th double. In his last 14 games, Yelich is 16-for-48 (.333) with a 6:9 BB:K. He has an .814 OPS on the year.

Yelich (back) will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot in Monday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Lower-back soreness has kept Yelich off the field for the Brewers' past five games, but he has been cleared to return to the lineup for Monday's series opener. The 33-year-old has performed well at the plate in the home stretch of the 2025 season and has a .957 OPS with 27 runs, seven homers and 23 RBI in 133 plate appearances since Aug. 1.

Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich took some swings in the batting cage Saturday with no issues and responded "we'll see" when asked if he'll be available to pinch hit Sunday, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter in the series finale, allowing Danny Jansen to pick up a start behind the plate.

Yelich (back) swung in a batting cage Saturday and "will see how he feels tomorrow," Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.

EDGE Analysis

A sore back has kept Yelich out of Milwaukee's lineup for each of the Brewers' past four games, but the team hasn't put him on the IL. It thus stands to reason that the veteran slugger could return to action soon if he recovers well from his batting-cage session Saturday. Jake Bauers has gotten a turn at DH each of the past two days with Yelich on the shelf.

Yelich (back) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich hasn't played since Monday due to lingering back issues, and given the outfielder's history with back problems, the Brewers likely won't risk rushing him back until he's fully healthy. Jake Bauers will draw another start as Milwaukee's DH on Saturday and bat fifth.

Yelich (back) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Yelich's back flared up before Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, and he'll be out of the lineup Friday for a third straight game due to the issue. Expect Milwaukee to take it day-by-day with the 33-year-old outfielder, but considering Yelich's history of back injuries, the Brewers likely won't rush him back. Jake Bauers will fill the DH spot Friday while Isaac Collins, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick fill the outfield from left to right.
