As the Chicago Cubs head into Milwaukee tonight, there’s one player they won’t see on the other team’s lineup. Christian Yelich suffered an oblique strain, and is currently listed as “day-to-day.” While this might seem small, it could have more significant repercussions if things get worse for the Milwaukee Brewers.
In 27 plate appearances, Yelich is hitting .385 with a home run and six RBI. While a small sample, he’s taken it to Cubs pitching. After his arrival pushed Ryan Braun over to first base, would the Brewers put Braun back out in left field?
