Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich extended his hitting streak to six games in the team's 6-5 win over the visiting Chicago Cubs on Thursday by going 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base and a walk. Yelich has been filling up the box score on a daily basis during his current hitting streak, going 11-for-25 (.440) with two long balls, a double, triple, nine RBI, three stolen bases and 11 runs scored in just 29 plate appearances. The strong stretch has raised his season line to .287/.381/.459 in 314 at-bats. The 31-year-old left-handed hitter has added 11 home runs, 17 doubles, three triples, 45 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 65 runs scored in 84 total games in 2023. Yelich is healthy and on fire at the moment.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will take a seat on the bench on Sunday with the team facing left-handed veteran Rich Hill and the Pittsburgh Pirates. In his absence, Blake Perkins will get the start in left field and hit fifth against Hill. Yelich is hitting .333 with an RBI in 15 career at-bats against Hill, but he's going to get a breather after starting in the team's last 40 games. The 31-year-old veteran left-handed hitter has been solid for fantasy managers in 2023, slashing .273/.370/.438 with an .808 OPS, 10 home runs, 17 doubles, a triple, 40 RBI, 18 stolen bases and 59 runs scored in 80 games played. He started July off strong on Saturday by going 1-for-3 with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored in an 11-8 win over the Pirates.

The 31-year-old is having a nice season offensively overall, slashing .273/.367/.432 with nine home runs, 32 RBI, and 17 stolen bases. It has been several seasons since Yelich has hit for both average and power, so fantasy managers should be pleased with his production to this point. He has rebounded to a must-start player in all leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich was seeing the ball well on Tuesday night in the team's 4-3 extra-innings win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles, as he finished the game 3-for-4 with two doubles, two stolen bases, a run scored and a walk. It was the fourth time in 2023 that Yelich has recorded three hits in a contest. Fantasy managers would like to see more home runs from the 31-year-old left-handed hitter, but they also can't complain about his stat-stuffing performance on Tuesday. It's been nice to see Yelich running more this year, and he's now tied for seventh in MLB with his 16 stolen bases. Overall, he's hitting a solid .258 (55-for-213) with nine doubles, seven home runs, 25 RBI and 41 runs scored in 58 games. Yelich hasn't homered since May 14, but he has five doubles and seven steals since then.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 0-for-2 with two walks in the Brewers' 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Yelich missed multiple games due to back tightness last week, but he returned over the weekend. His power is up this season, as he's on pace to reach 20 home runs for the first time since 2019 if he can stay healthy. Staying healthy has been a challenge for Yelich since that 2019 season, but he played in 154 games last year. His average hasn't seen noticeable improvement, however, as he's hitting .251 entering play Wednesday after hitting .252 last year and .248 in 2021. Yelich continues to be a valuable source of stolen bases with 11 on the year. The power and speed carry his value in rotisserie formats, so long as he can stay on the field.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yelich was pulled out of the game as a precaution on Monday due to back tightness. It appears the team is giving him an extra rest day to fully recover on Tuesday. Owen Miller will cover left field and bat leadoff versus lefty Jordan Montgomery on Tuesday. Miller might be an interesting dart throw in DFS contests considering he's batting first here.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) was removed from Monday's 18-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals mid-game. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, manager Craig Counsel is being careful while the former MVP is experiencing back tightness, as the score was already 8-0 when he left. Fantasy managers need to keep their fingers crossed that he doesn't miss anytime, as Yelich has been on a tear recently and owns a .258/.341/.424 slash line with seven homers, 32 runs, 23 RBI, and nine stolen bases over 40 games. Stay tuned for more updates on the situation.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich hit his fourth homer of the season on Thursday. Yelich has been struggling all season as he upped his average to .243 to start the year. His 27.2% strikeout rate is part of the reason for his struggles, but he hasn't been hitting the ball with the authority he had during his best years. Thursday was a rare productive day as he went 3-for-5 with the home run, two RBI, and two runs scored.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich said that he "kind of just went off the grid" and "enjoyed the down time" of the off-season to help prepare for the 2023 season, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. The 31-year-old said he feels in a "better place" mentally and physically compared to the past couple of seasons. This is encouraging news for the Brewers and fantasy managers, as Yelich posted a disappointing .252/.355/.383 slash line with 14 home runs, 99 runs scored, 57 RBI, and 19 stolen bases in 2022. He dealt with back issues in 2021 which may have impacted his power drop in 2022, so being fully healthy can only help. Hopefully, he can return to the higher-end fantasy player he was before 2021 with a clean bill of health.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Monday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Ryan Feltner. Yelich missed the last three games with neck soreness, but he'll return on Monday for the start of a series against the Rockies in hitter-friendly Coors Field. Fantasy managers will want to get the 30-year-old left-handed slugger back into their lineups, as Yelich has been very productive in his last 16 games, hitting .317 (19-for-60) with three home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored. Overall, he's been a disappointment with his .259/.360/.387 slash line with 11 homers, 45 RBI, 83 runs scored and 16 stolen bases in 468 at-bats.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is not in the lineup on Sunday vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yelich has now missed three straight games after exiting Thursday's contest vs. the D-Backs early with neck discomfort. Milwaukee is hoping he can avoid the injured list but fantasy managers still need to consider him day-to-day. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .259/.360/.387 with 11 long balls, 45 RBI, and 16 thefts over 468 at-bats on the season. Rookie Esteury Ruiz is batting ninth and starting in left field against Zac Gallen and the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that outfielder Christian Yelich (neck) is day-to-day after leaving the game early on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with neck discomfort. "He just irritated his neck on one of the swings in that second at-bat. We're day-to-day. I think there's a chance he misses a couple of days but I wouldn't worry about it past that," Counsell said. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Yelich for a few days, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term issue. Yelich went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before departing and is now hitting .259/.360/.387 on the season with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 83 runs scored and 16 stolen bases. He finished the month of August hitting .255 (26-for-102) with three homers, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich was removed from Thursday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went 0-2 with a strikeout before exiting. The Brewers will provide an update on Yelich as no details about his removal have been released by the team. The 30-year-old is slashing .259/.360/.387 with 11 home runs, 46 RBI, 83 runs, and 16 stolen bases in 125 games in 2022. Tyrone Taylor replaced Yelich in left field. Taylor would see an uptick in at-bats if Yelich were to miss any time. Stay tuned for more updates.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich had a terrific night at the plate on Saturday by going 4-for-5 in his club's 7-0 win over the Cubs. Three of his hits went for singles but the biggest one came in the seventh inning when he blasted a three-run homer off Rowan Wick to right field. It was the 10th long ball of the year for the former MVP who is now hitting .260 on the year with 81 runs, 42 RBI, and 16 stolen bases through 120 games. Although his days of a first-round fantasy superstar appear to be over, Yelich is still providing some speed and sturdy counting numbers in his age-30 season.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 0-for-2 with two walks in Monday's 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fantasy managers weren't complaining about the two walks, but Yelich has been ice-cold at the plate out of the leadoff spot for the Brew Crew of late. In 12 games in August, he's hitting .159 (7-for-44) with no homers, no RBI and 12 strikeouts in 54 plate appearances. In his last seven games, he's hitless in 25 at bats with eight strikeouts. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter is batting .250/.356/.373 with eight home runs, 35 RBI, 71 runs scored and 16 stolen bases on the season in 408 at-bats. Fantasy managers should probably consider benching him right now until he shows some signs of life with the stick.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Yelich was a late scratch for Tuesday's starting lineup due to mid-back tightness, and he hasn't played since, although the Brewers don't believe it's as serious as the back issues that plagued him last year. With the All-Star break coming next week, it's possible Milwaukee plays it safe and holds the 30-year-old out until the start of the second half of the season. Andrew McCutchen is in left field and is batting leadoff, while catcher Pedro Severino serves as the designated hitter and bats eighth against Giants left-hander Carlos Rodon on Thursday. McCutchen is the much more attractive DFS play. He's hitting only .218 (17-for-78) with three homers and 10 RBI against lefties this year, but he's also gone 15-for-47 (.319) with two long balls and five RBI in 11 games over the last two weeks.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will serve as the team's leadoff hitter for the first time this season as the team takes on right-hander Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies. Kolten Wong (calf) has been the team's primary leadoff hitter this year, but he was lifted from Tuesday's game with a calf injury and he's being held out on Wednesday. Yelich doesn't have the most alluring surface numbers so far this year as he's slashing .224/.316/.363 with five home runs, seven stolen bases, 21 RBI and 33 runs over 54 games. However, there's plenty to like from his underlying metrics, including an 89th percentile average exit velocity (91.7 mph) and a 95th percentile hard-hit rate (51.4%). Fantasy managers should start to see the 30-year-old veteran produce some more impressive numbers in the months to come.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich recorded his third career cycle in the team's 14-11 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. He went 4-for-5 with a total of three RBI and two runs in the game. The 30-year-old had gone hitless over his previous three games so it was nice to see him break out of his mini-slump in a big way. Over 31 games on the year, Yelich is slashing .259/.356/.482 with five home runs, three stolen bases, 20 RBI and 22 runs.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 9-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. He took Locke St. John deep in the eighth inning for his third long ball of the season. After slumping to start the year, Yelich is beginning to turn things around. The 30-year-old is slashing .462/.533/.1.456 with two home runs and four RBI over his last five games. Overall, Yelich is slashing .230/.322/.405 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 87 plate appearances in 2022.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich made his first home run of the season count in Monday's 6-1 win over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with a double, a grand slam, a walk, and a strikeout. Yelich mashed a fourth-inning Zach Thompson changeup into the right-field seats to put the Brewers up 6-1. The 30-year-old is looking to rebound after posting subpar 2020 and 2021 seasons. He is slashing .242/.395/.455 with six RBI through his first 43 plate appearances of this season. Those aren't quite the number fantasy managers are hoping for, but, hopefully, Yelich can continue to get things going in the remainder of this favorable Pirates series.
