Brewers Place Christian Yelich on 10-Day DL

By Kyle Downing | April 8, 2018 at 11:11am CDT

After letting him sit out a few games with a minor oblique injury, the Brewers have elected to place outfielder Christian Yelich on the 10-day DL. In a corresponding move, the team has recalled right-hander Taylor Williams from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

During Yelich’s absence, it seems likely that Domingo Santana will fill in for him in the outfield. Yelich was off to a hot start for the 2018 season; he’s hit .385/.407/.577 across 27 plate appearances for the Brew Crew with one long ball and five runs driven in.  The 26-year-old has played at least 155 games in consecutive seasons, a streak that will now officially come to an end with the news that he’ll miss at least the ten-day minimum.

Yelich, of course, was perhaps the Brewers’ biggest offseason addition. The club sent top prospects Lewis Brinson and Isan Diaz, along with two other minor-leaguers, to Miami in order to bring the young slugger to Milwaukee. He sports a career .291/.366/.433 batting line across his first 2,839 plate appearances, with 60 homers and a 121 wRC+.

    “Perhaps the Brewers’ biggest offseason addition”. Perhaps? Who else would be considered the biggest?

        With all due respect I don’t think anyone looks at Cain as THE biggest addition. But now that I’m re-reading the paragraph, the way you worded it works

          With all due respect, Cain was a 5.3 WAR player last year. Yellich was 3.9 WAR.

          Cain is also the second fastest player in MLB according to FanGraphs and had the second highest exit velocity of any player. Dude swings hard haha.

          Fake news. I think you meant highest exit velo of all center fielders.

    Well, if the Crew gets rained out a lot, Yelich might still make 155…

      Haha okay that’s technically true… I’ll still stand by my statement but with knowledge that there’s a small chance I’m wrong.

    It’s the low budget Brewers, so trading multiple top prospects(pre-arb, of course) for one guy AND giving another guy $80 million are both huge investments. The wording and context is fine, I believe…

      Some teams give that kind of money to their bench players.

      Maybe a fine but without being ejected from the game a suspension is much less likely.

        I’m trying to remember an incident several years ago when MLB suspended a player for doing something during a game which did not result in his ejection. It wasn’t PEDs or tweeting from the Clubhouse or anything like that, but it was something that happened on the field. Anyone recall which player that was?
