It has been six days since Christian Yelich last took the field for the Milwaukee Brewers, following his exit after the second inning of a 9-3 win against the Cardinals on April 11th with a sore back. The club had said yesterday that he was improving, but Yelich was held out of the lineup again today and during the pregame presser, manager Craig Counsell announced that the former MVP would be placed on the 10-day Injured List. He added ominously that the hope is for Yelich not to be out long-term.
OF Christian Yelich has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to 4/14, with a lower back strain.
