Yelich's Injury: Brewers Face Tough Times

0:00It's April 14th. Welcome in. This is Milwaukee Brewer's News Today, where a team coverage meets AI. Milwaukee Brewer's star Christian Yellich landed on the injured list Tuesday with a second degree at Dr. Strain that'll keep him out at least until mid-May. He got hurt during Sunday's 8-6 loss against the Washington Nationals and the team confirmed the bad news that afternoon after pulling him from the lineup mid-game. Major Pat Murphy had a gut feeling right after the game, telling reporters they were likely facing tough times ahead with Yellich, and, unfortunately, his hunch was spot-on. This hit's hard for a brewer squad that strapped five straight, including a sweep by the nationals, leaving them eight and seven, third in the National League Central, one and a half games back of the pirates. The 34-year-old Yellich was scorching hot through 15 games, hitting 3-14, slash 3-75, slash 4-51, with one, Homer, 10 RBI's, and three steals.
