Brewers' Christian Yelich expected to miss at least a month with adductor strain
The Brewers will be without their three-time All-Star and former MVP until at least mid-May.
The Milwaukee Brewers placed three-time All-Star and former MVP Christian Yelich on the injured list Tuesday with a second-degree adductor strain that’s expected to sideline him for at least a month. The Brewers confirmed the injury Tuesday afternoon and announced that he’s expected to be out until at least mid-May. Yelich sustained the injury in Sunday’s 8-6 loss to the Washington Nationals.
The Brewers replaced Yelich in the lineup for his scheduled third at-bat on Sunday. The severity of his injury wasn’t initially clear, but manager Pat Murphy wasn’t optimistic in his postgame news conference. “We’re most likely to get some bad news on Yelich,” Murphy told reporters.
It turns out that he was right to be concerned. This story will be updated.
