Yardley was recalled by the Brewers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley opened the season on the big-league roster but struggled through his first five relief appearances, posting giving up five runs in five innings while walking three and striking out just two. He was optioned on Monday but returns to the roster just five days later, with Christian Yelich (back) landing on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Yardley tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Friday's exhibition game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley allowed two earned runs in his first appearance of the spring and one earned run in his second, but he was able to keep the opponent off the scoreboard Friday. While his results haven't been great thus far, Yardley is set to open the season in the Brewers' bullpen after posting a 1.54 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 23.1 innings over 24 relief appearances a year ago.

Yardley (shin) struck out one over a perfect inning of relief Wednesday in the Brewers' 6-1 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley suffered a shin contusion in his prior relief outing last week against the Royals, but his appearance five days later suggests the injury isn't a concern any longer. With runs allowed in only one of his last 11 games, Yardley is starting to establish himself as a dependable option out of the bullpen.

Yardley suffered a shin contusion during Friday's win against the Royals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley was hit by a shot up the middle during Friday's contest and underwent X-rays following the game. However, the X-rays came back negative, so he appears to have avoided a serious injury. Manager Craig Counsell said that the team will evaluate his status again Saturday to determine when he could be available to return.

Yardley got a chance to close out Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, but he recorded just one out and was charged with a blown save.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley got his first real opportunity to save a game after the Brewers' regular late-inning relievers all pitched in Game 1 of Monday's double dip, but he could not seal the deal and was replaced by Drew Rasmussen, who took him off the hook for a possible loss. Yardley still owns a 1.93 ERA on the season, but he figures to continue mostly pitching in middle relief.

Yardley (2-0) pitched two perfect innings and struck out three to earn the win Wednesday versus the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley worked the sixth and seventh innings, and the Brewers took the lead in the bottom of the seventh to make him the pitcher of record. The 30-year-old righty has a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 13 strikeouts through 15 innings this season. He's pitched 4.1 consecutive scoreless innings, typically in middle relief.

Yardley tossed an inning of relief and picked up the first win of his career in Sunday's victory over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Yardley was not particularly sharp Sunday, hitting a batter and allowing two inherited runners to score and tie the game. However, he did not allow an earned run of his own and found himself in position to grab the win when the Brewers scored the decisive run the next inning. Yardley has already pitched nine times this season, and he has been a steady middle-relief option for the Brewers, allowing just one earned run over 9.1 innings (0.96 ERA) and posting a respectable 1.18 WHIP.

Yardley will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers optioned Yardley to the minors in March, but he got another chance to make the club during summer camp and was able to secure a spot. The side-arming Yardley recorded at least four outs in four of his 10 appearances out of the Padres' bullpen last season, so he could be used in several roles, even though he won't be part of the Brewers' late-inning mix.
