Yelich's Injury Hits Brewers, Jones Called Up

0:00It's April 14th. Milwaukee Brewer's news today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Milwaukee Brewer's fans got bad news this week, with star-outfielder Christian Yelich landing on the 10-day injured list with a left-growing strain. The 34-year-old was crushing it early, hitting 3-14 with 16 hits, a Homer, 10 RBIs, and 10 runs over 15 games mostly, as their designated hitter. The brewers have been leaning on his steady bat during a rocky start, dropping 5 straight, including a sweep by the nationals. Coming off 97 wins last season, they're already banged up with injuries to guys like Jackson Churrio and Andrew Vaughn. Yelich brings that veteran vibe to a young squad, ever since his trade for Miami in 2018, when he snagged National League MVP honors. He's got three all-star nods and has been their go-to offensive leader for years. To patch the roster, they caught up in-fielder, out-fielder Greg Jones, from the minors, and
