Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Brewers haven't indicated that Yelich is nursing with an injury, his absence from the lineup against a right-handed starting pitcher (Spencer Schwellenbach) for the second game in a row suggests he's dealing with something. Manager Pat Murphy will likely shed more light on Yelich's condition later Wednesday, but for now, the three-time All-Star can be viewed as day-to-day. With Yelich on the bench, William Contreras will get a day off from catching duties and will serve as Milwaukee's designated hitter.

Yelich isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich will get a chance to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener. His absence will open a spot in the lineup for Jake Bauers to serve as Milwaukee's DH and bat fourth.

Yelich (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich was forced out of Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies when he was struck on the right hand by a pitch during his lone plate appearance of the day, but he was fortunate to avoid any major damage after X-rays came back negative. Following the game, Yelich said that he was still dealing with some swelling and soreness on the hand that made it difficult to grip a bat, but he appears to have made good progress overnight. He'll be back in the lineup for the series opener in Cincinnati and will look to continue what's been his most productive offensive stretch of the season. Over his last nine starts, Yelich has gotten on base at a .525 clip and has slugged five home runs to go along with two steals.

Yelich had X-rays on his bruised right hand come back negative after leaving Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger departed Sunday's contest after being hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance of the day. According to Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, Yelich said after the game that the swelling and soreness in his hand made it difficult to grip a bat, but X-rays ruled out a more significant injury. The Brewers are viewing him as day-to-day heading into their three-game series in Cincinnati that begins Monday.

Yelich was removed from Sunday's game against the Phillies due to a right hand contusion.
EDGE Analysis

Yelich went 4-for-6 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's 17-7 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After walloping two home runs in Friday's series opener, Yelich took a more contact-based approach Saturday as the Brewers finished with a season-high 23 hits. Though his .737 OPS on the season represents a 173-point drop from 2024, Yelich has been running hot at the plate lately. He's in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak and is slashing .472/.513/.917 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 13 RBI and 10 runs during that stretch.

Yelich went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning and then crushed a 420-foot solo shot in the ninth. He extended his hitting streak to eight games, a stretch that includes five multi-hit performances, five homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals. While he's slashing a modest .220/.305/.416, the 33-year-old has still produced 12 long balls, 38 RBI, 30 runs scored and 10 stolen bases across 236 plate appearances.

Yelich went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich was the hero Tuesday, walking off the Red Sox with a grand slam in the 10th inning. After an eight-game stretch during which Yelich went just 2-for-32 at the plate, he's tallied nine hits, including three homers, and has driven in eight runs over his last five games. Yelich still owns a low .210 batting average but he's now up to 10 steals and could get to 30 for just the second time in his career.

Yelich is not in in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Yelich turned in a multi-homer game last week and has collected seven hits in his last four games, but the Brewers are facing tough lefty Garrett Crochet in the series opener, so it seems like a decent time to get Yelich a rest. The 33-year-old outfielder/DH is batting just .127/.225/.127 against left-handed pitching so far this season.

Yelich went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday marked the 11th career multi-homer game for Yelich, who matched a season high in RBI. The veteran outfielder has struggled mightily at the plate overall this season, and he's batting just .116 with four big flies, seven RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 81 at-bats. Yelich has made just six appearances in the outfield this year, which should help keep the slugger healthy, and his strong 47.6 percent hard-hit rate on the campaign in addition to Thursday's performance present causes for optimism going forward.
