It has been more than two weeks since Christian Yelich last took the field for the Milwaukee Brewers as he continues to deal with his ailing back. But after undergoing an MRI over the weekend, the team is reportedly optimistic that their superstar outfielder will be back in the starting lineup before the end of the week.
Yelich’s MRI revealed no structural damage according to manager Craig Counsell, who said yesterday that the team was able to rule out “anything significant” in terms of the injury. Milwaukee will continue their current course of treatment for Yelich, who has dealt with back issues regularly during the course of his career.
