Milwaukee Brewers All-Star outfielder Christian Yelich told reporters that "daily living sucked" before he decided to undergo season-ending back surgery.
"Once I got surgery, once that decision was made, it was to the point where daily living sucked," Yelich told reporters Tuesday, per Steve Megargee of the Associated Press. "I was really uncomfortable. There was a lot of pain."
Yelich was out from April 12 to May 8 with a low back strain. He still excelled upon his return and hit .315 (.909 OPS) with 11 home runs, 42 RBI and 44 runs scored in 73 games.
