Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the New York Mets at Citi Field with left-hander David Peterson starting on the mound. Eric Haase is serving as the designated hitter and is batting seventh versus Peterson. Yelich snapped a 12-game hitting streak in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Queens but then hit a homer in the nightcap. The 33-year-old former MVP and three-time All-Star has been relevant in all fantasy formats this year with the Brew Crew, entering Thursday's action with a .259/.337/.460 slash line, .797 OPS, 17 long balls, 61 RBI, 43 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. The former first-rounder can do it all and is a must-start in fantasy everytime he's in the starting lineup. Haase is hitting .167 (3-for-18) with one of his two homers on the year against lefties.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich had a spectacular, and somewhat peculiar, day at the plate on Friday, going 4-for-6 with two doubles and eight RBI in a 17-6 drubbing of the Minnesota Twins. Yelich became the first player since at least 1920 to tally eight or more RBI without hitting a home run, a very bizarre feat. The 33-year-old veteran has been on a roll lately, going 35-for-96 (.365) with seven homers and 26 RBI over the last 30 days. The hot streak has seen his season numbers climb, as Yelich now has a .252 AVG, 35 runs, 14 homers, 52 RBI, and 11 steals. He has a solid chance of going 30/20, and will have good counting stats to back it up. Yelich is a clear must-start outfielder in all fantasy formats.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Sonny Gray at American Family Field, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. A swollen right wrist caused Yelich to miss the last two games, but he's back in there to start a crucial divisional series against a pitcher that he has plenty of experience with. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter has hit .250 against Gray with a home run and four RBI in 24 career at-bats. Fantasy managers will be hoping that Yelich can pick things back up after going just 3-for-17 with eight strikeouts in his last five games played. He's hitting just .233 on the season but with 13 homers, 41 RBI and 10 stolen bases, and he ranks in the 72nd percentile in average exit velocity and sports a .248 xBA.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Wednesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves with renewed swelling in his right wrist, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. It is from being hit by a pitch in Philadelphia on the team's last road trip. It sounds like a minor injury, so fantasy managers should consider Yelich day-to-day for now. His next chance to play will be in Thursday's series opener against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals. Jake Bauers is making the start in left field on Wednesday and will bat cleanup against Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. Since returning from his initial wrist injury, Yelich has hit .240 with a home run. Overall in 2025, he's hitting .233 (56-for-240) with 13 homers, 41 RBI, 34 runs and 10 steals. We'll keep a close eye on how the 33-year-old's wrist injury affects his performance moving forward.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a routine rest day for Yelich who has started in each of the last seven games. Over the last three games, Yelich is 1-for-9, so a rest day looks like it's needed. In his absence, Jake Bauers will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus right-hander Grant Holmes on Tuesday.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich hit a solo home run in Monday's 3-2 win over the Reds. This was his fourth home run in the past six games, bringing his season total to 13. He's slashing .233/.316/.434 and also has 10 stolen bases to go along with the 13 bombs. That puts him on a pace to exceed 30 homers and 25 steals, which proves that the former MVP is still an elite option for fantasy. Monday's performance was especially encouraging to see after he left Sunday's game after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, as the outfielder seems to have brushed it off.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (hand) is back in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Brady Singer at Great American Ball Park, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. X-rays came back negative on Yelich's right hand after he was hit by a pitch on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies, and he'll be back a day after leaving the game early. Fantasy managers are hoping that his hand injury won't affect the way he's been swinging the bat of late. The 33-year-old former MVP and three-time All-Star is currently riding an eight-game hitting streak in which he's batting .472 (17-for-36) with five home runs, a double, 13 RBI, two steals and 10 runs scored. Yelich needs to be returned to all starting fantasy lineups. In six career at-bats versus Singer, he's hitting .167 with an RBI.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (hand) exited Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies early due to a right-hand contusion. Yelich was hit by a pitch in the opening frame. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status leading up to their next contest on Monday evening against the Cincinnati Reds. Yelich has enjoyed an impressive surge at the plate over the last two weeks. In his last eight contests, the 33-year-old has posted a stellar .472/.513/.917 slash line with one double, five home runs, and two stolen bases. Through 57 games this season, Yelich has held a .233/.317/.423 slash line with 12 home runs and 10 stolen bases. If Yelich were to miss a period of time, fantasy managers should expect Jake Bauers to see more opportunities in the starting nine.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich continued his hot stretch of play against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. Yelich smacked a three-run home run off Tanner Banks in the fifth inning. The left-handed slugger struck again as he added a solo shot Carlos Hernandez in the final frame. It was his 12th career multi-homer game as Yelich went 3-for-5 with two homers, four RBI, and he extended his hitting streak to eight games. The veteran outfielder has been unstoppable at the plate over the last week. He has three homers and eight RBI over his last three games. Yelich needs to be started in all fantasy formats right now while he's on fire at the plate.

Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter/outfielder Christian Yelich smacked a walk-off grand slam to lead the team to a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Yelich stepped to the plate against Red Sox right-hander Liam Hendriks with one out in the bottom of the 10th and ended the game with a 400-foot blast, his 10th of the year. It capped off a highly productive night for Yelich, who added a double and a stolen base during a 2-for-5 showing. With a .210/.296/.385 line across 226 plate appearances, the 33-year-old former MVP is off to a poor start this season. However, Yelich is currently enjoying a five-game hitting streak in which he has gone 9-for-21 with three homers, eight RBI, seven runs scored, and two steals. He'll attempt to keep rolling Wednesday against Red Sox righty Brayan Bello.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich and second baseman Brice Turang are both out of the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the visiting Boston Red Sox and tough left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet. Yelich is currently riding a four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 7-for-16 with two homers, four RBI and a steal, but he's gone 8-for-63 (.127) with none of his nine home runs and 25 strikeouts in 71 plate appearances against left-handers on the year. The 33-year-old's recent hot streak has gotten his season average up to .205 on the year. Turang has struggled so far in May, going 15-for-77 (.195) with a homer, three doubles and five stolen bases. Isaac Collins is starting in left field and batting second, while Andruw Monasterios is at the keystone and batting ninth on Monday against Crochet. Neither player will be very attractive in DFS lineups against Crochet.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich had a huge night in his team's 8-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Yelich went 2-for-3 with two homers, three runs, four RBI, and one walk to power the Brewers to the win. The veteran outfielder got his team off to a quick start with a three-run homer in the top of the first inning and then came back and added a solo shot in the sixth. Yelich's batting average of .192 is rough, but he is contributing in other categories in fantasy, with nine homers, 24 runs, 30 RBI, and eight stolen bases. Fantasy gamers will certainly take that while hoping the career .284 hitter's average normalizes throughout the season.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich went deep on Sunday in the fourth inning against Tampa Bay Rays' right-hander Drew Rasmussen to help propel the Brewers to a 4-2 victory and prevent getting swept in their three-game series with the Rays. In addition to the home run, Yelich finished his afternoon going 2-for-4 with two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base. The stolen base was his eighth of the season, as the home run was his seventh. Yelich has gotten off to a slow start to his 2025 campaign, slashing only .208/.303/.375; however, he is a career .285 hitter and hit .315 in 2024, so progression should be on the horizon for the 33-year-old veteran. Next up for the Brewers and Yelich is a three-game series in Cleveland to take on the Guardians.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich turned in a productive day in a 5-1 win over the Houston Astros on Monday. Yelich went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base in the winning effort. The veteran outfielder launched a two-run homer in the third inning to push Milwaukee's lead to 3-0 in the contest. Yelich owns a rough .210 batting average, but he's producing across the board despite it, with six homers, 17 runs, 25 RBI, and seven steals over 124 at-bats. He remains a high-end fantasy outfielder in all leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is getting the day off for Thursday's series finale in Chicago against the hosting White Sox. Catcher William Contreras will get a day off his feet and serve as the designated hitter while batting cleanup, and Eric Haase will do the catching and hit ninth against White Sox right-hander Sean Burke. Coming off offseason back surgery, Yelich has struggled at the plate so far in 2025, batting .220/.333/.385 but he does have five home runs, 23 RBI, 14 runs scored and six stolen bases in his 109 at-bats. He's gone hitless in his last two outings and has six hits in his last 29 plate appearances with four RBI, a steal and a run scored in his last six games. While Yelich's average is down compared to what we've come to expect of him, he's still producing. Expect him back in action for Friday's series opener versus the division-rival Chicago Cubs.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich starred in Tuesday's 11-3 blowout win over the San Francisco Giants. Yelich went 2-for-5 with a 407-foot grand slam in the sixth inning that broke the game open, giving the Brewers a 9-1 lead. He also doubled in the third, finishing the night with seven total bases and two runs scored. Yelich's hard-hit percentage (52.8%) and average exit velocity (91.9 mph) rank above the 80th percentile this season, suggesting potential for a jump in his numbers as April nears its end. Overall, the 33-year-old is slashing .222/.337/.444 with five home runs, 19 RBI, and five stolen bases across 95 plate appearances in 2025. Yelich and the Brewers will look to stay hot against Logan Webb on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is taking a seat for Monday's series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers at American Family Field with left-hander Tarik Skubal on the mound. Yelich will get a day of rest after starting each of the team's last 10 games. Isaac Collins will serve as the team's designated hitter on Monday night and will bat second against Skubal. Coming off offseason back surgery, Yelich does have three home runs in his first 16 games, but he's also hitting only .143 (8-for-56) in the early going with a double, 10 RBI, eight walks and 16 strikeouts in 65 plate appearances. Fantasy managers shouldn't start panicking yet, but he's been a disappointment after a very strong start in 2024. Collins is in a prime spot in the batting order but will be avoided by most DFS gamers against Skubal. The switch-hitter has gone 5-for-21 with no homers, two runs and two stolen bases so far this year.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich turned in a big game in a 17-2 blowout win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Yelich went 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs, two RBI, and a steal to help lead his team to the win. The veteran outfielder ripped a solo homer to center field as part of a seven-run ninth inning. Yelich is off to a quiet start in 2025, hitting just .171 with three homers, six runs, eight RBI, and three steals across 41 at-bats. Patience is key here as Yelich has a long track record of being a starting-caliber fantasy outfielder.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will retreat to the bench on Wednesday for the series finale against the visiting Kansas City Royals at American Family Field with left-hander Cole Ragans on the mound. With Yelich getting a breather, Isaac Collins will serve as the designated hitter for Milwaukee and will hit third in the batting order. The 33-year-old Yelich has gotten off to a slow start in 2025 after undergoing offseason back surgery, going 2-for-16 in his first five games, but he did hit his first long ball of the year on Tuesday night. It's still early in the season and it was nice to see Yelich go yard on Tuesday, but the Brewers could continue to give him built-in off days, especially against left-handers, as they ease him in from his offseason back procedure. Collins, 27, has gone 3-for-6 in four games in the early going with two doubles and a run scored for the Brewers and is in a nice lineup spot on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich had an overall productive game offensively in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Royals. Yelich went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two RBI, and a walk. He also stole his second base of the season. The 33-year-old clubbed an eighth-inning John Schreiber cutter deep over the right-center wall for his first long ball of the season. It was an encouraging game for Yelich, who is slashing just .125/.300/.313 in his first 20 plate appearances of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Yelich's performance this early in the season, as health is his key issue. He has been a solid fantasy contributor when on the field throughout his career. Hopefully, this game can help get him going.
