According to Ken Rosenthal of 'The Athletic,' the Milwaukee Brewers could be facing the reality of not having Christian Yelich for the rest of the season.
According to a report from Ken Rosenthal of 'The Athletic,' the Milwaukee Brewers may be forced to play the rest of the season without superstar outfielder Christian Yelich.Yelich, 32, is facing the prospect of season-ending surgery to correct a lower back condition that has plagued him for years, according to two sources briefed on his situation.
Yelich has been having an excellent season for Milwaukee, hitting .315 with 11 homers and 42 RBI. He's got a .406 on-base percentage as well for ateam that has surprised many people by getting out to a 59-43 record. They are 6.0 games up on the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central at the time of this posting, which is amazing considering they traded Corbin Burnes and haven't had Devin Williams all season because of injury.
Yelich is in his 12th season with the Miami Marlins and Brewers. He won the MVP Award in 2019 and is a three-time All-Star, including this year. His .315 batting average leads the National League, as does his on-base percentage. Yelich played just 117 games in 2021 but has found a way to push through back issues and played 144 games or more in each of the last two seasons before this one.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
