Christian Yelich

Christian Yelich will undergo season-ending back surgery Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Yelich has been out of action since July 24 due to low-back inflammation. The hope was that rest and rehab would allow Yelich to return this season, but he has not progressed as quickly as they hoped. He will look to return to full health for the 2025 season.

Christian Yelich reportedly intends to rest and rehab his back rather than undergo surgery that would have ended his season.

Fantasy Impact

It is possible that Yelich undergoes surgery in the offseason. In the meantime, he remains without a timetable to return this year but will target a return before the end of the season.

Christian Yelich may require season-ending back surgery. He is scheduled to see a spine specialist Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The Brewers and fantasy managers should have more information soon and obviously season-ending surgery is the worst case scenario. Either way, there is no timetable for his return from the injured list and he will most likely require longer than the minimum 10 days.

The Brewers have placed Christian Yelich on the 10-day IL with low back inflammation.

Fantasy Impact

Yelich and manager Pat Murphy sounded concerned about the severity of the back injury. Based on the initial concerns of the Brewers, this could be a stint longer than the minimum 10 days.

Christian Yelich is in the starting lineup for the Brewers Monday.

Yelich will serve as the DH and bat third after getting the day off Sunday. He is hitting .320, with 11 home runs, 42 RBI, and 21 stolen bases this season.
