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.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is starting in left field and batting third on Opening Day on Thursday against Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Yelich went 7-for-27 (.259) with two doubles and no home runs in spring training and is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2021 in which he slashed .248/.362/.373 with nine home runs, 51 RBI, 70 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 475 plate appearances over 117 games while dealing with injuries. With better health, Yelich should bounce back, but his health concerns are very real, and the Brewers could give him regular days off throughout the season to keep him fresh.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is having a solid spring thus far, hitting .280 with two runs and three RBI over 25 at-bats. A few years ago, Yelich was playing at an MVP level and was regularly being selected as a first-round pick in fantasy drafts. He is coming off two straight disappointing seasons, by his standards, which have dimmed his fantasy stock some. If he's able to reclaim his 2018-2019 mojo, Yelich could wind up as a value in fantasy leagues this season, which makes him worth taking a chance on as a second outfielder in mixed leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is getting a rest day for the team's season finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Tyrone Taylor is getting the start in left field and batting seventh in the game. Yelich's disappointing 2021 season has officially come to an end. The 29-year-old dealt with injuries throughout the year and only managed to play in 117 games. He slashed .248/.362/.373 with nine home runs, nine stolen bases, 51 RBI and 70 runs. His .736 OPS was a career-low mark. This was the first year he failed to reach double-digits in home runs since 2015.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will take a seat Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals. It's been another down year for the one-time MVP, as he's slashed .247/.360/.374 with eight stolen bases and just nine home runs in 115 games. His numbers are even worse off of left-handers, posting a .628 OPS, so with J.A. Happ starting for the Cardinals, it's a good day to give him a rest. Jace Peterson will take his spot in the outfield and bat seventh. He's an underwhelming hitter, slashing .251/.354/.375, but has some speed with 10 SBs across 91 games and has hit .283 against southpaws this season. He's a streaming option in deep leagues only.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich had a strong offensive showing in the team's 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. He went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the game. The former NL MVP has continued to struggle over the course of September. He's slashing just .213/.300/.303 this month and he's hit just one home run since August 21. Yelich will be one of the most intriguing players to evaluate for fantasy drafts next year as he's just two years removed from a 44-homer season where he posted a 1.100 OPS. However, he's struggled since the start of 2020 and fantasy managers won't be able to shrug off his recent output easily.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will not be in the lineup Tuesday against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. The 2018 NL MVP is getting a day off as he has struggled at the plate this month. Yelich is hitting just .203/.261/.250 with seven RBI and five runs scored on just 13 hits through 64 at-bats and hasn't hit a home run since late August. While the 29-year-old might still have some fantasy value in deep leagues, managers really can't trust him to produce these days.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has continued to struggle at the plate in September. The 2018 NL MVP has slashed just .250/.302/.300 over 11 games this month. He hasn't homered since August 21, a dry spell that has lasted 20 games. Yelich was a fantasy dream during his first two years in Milwaukee in 2018 and 2019, posting a four-digit OPS both years. However, he's really struggled over the last two years. He slashed .205/.356/.430 in the abbreviated 2020 campaign and he has a .256/.368/.384 slash line this year. There isn't much fantasy managers can do now. In deep leagues and five-outfielder leagues, he's probably still worth starting, but in shallow leagues, he's a drop candidate.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 1-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 3-1 win over San Francisco. Yelich doubled in the first inning, then scored the first run of the game on a single by Omar Narvaez. After scuffling for the majority of the season, he is batting .308 in August and has at least one hit in his last 17 starts. The 29-year-old is slashing .254/.376/.395 with eight home runs, 41 RBI, 58 runs, and eight steals in 362 plate appearances. Despite the lack of home runs this season, he is heating up with four doubles in his last six games. Fantasy owners who have been patient with Yelich are finally starting to see benefits.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins. Yelich extended his hitting streak to eight games with his two-hit performance Sunday. He's actually recorded at least one base hit in 16 of his last 17 games and is slashing .359/.403/.547 with eight extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored, and a 6:12 BB: K over that span. The 29-year-old appears to have picked things up at the plate heading into September, as he's raised his batting average up nearly 30 points to .255 over the last few weeks. It's been a disappointing year for Yelich, but he appears to be heating up down the stretch and could be pivotal for the fantasy playoffs.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, who is hitting third on Sunday against Minnesota Twins right-hander Griffin Jax, has been showing signs of turning around his dismal year. Yelich is 10-for-25 with two home runs and nine RBI over his last 25 at-bats. The 29-year-old, chosen by some fantasy managers in the first round, has been a huge disappointment in 2021 but still could be a good buy-low trade candidate for the stretch run. He also could be a decent daily play on Sunday given his platoon splits. On the season, Yelich is slashing .252/.375/.390.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and six RBI in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals. For at least one day, Yelich rediscovered his MVP form, taking Paolo Espino deep in the first inning for a solo shot before launching a grand slam off Javy Guerra in the eighth inning. Yelich hadn't homered since July 18th and hadn't had a multi-homer game all season, and despite this huge performance, he's batting only .244 with eight home runs and 38 RBI through 81 contests. Hopefully this is a turning point for Yelich, who has been utterly disappointing so far this year.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich isn't starting on Friday against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Yelich is hitting .239 with a .371 on-base percentage, six home runs, and seven stolen bases in 321 plate appearances this season. Tyrone Taylor is starting in left field for Yelich and batting leadoff against Corbin. The 27-year-old could be a quality streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues on Friday. In 236 plate appearances this year, Taylor is batting .248 with a .326 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and five stolen bases.
