The Milwaukee Brewers have had to play short-handed for the first part of this stretch of 21 games in 20 days before the All-Star break, especially in the outfield where Lorenzo Cain has landed on the DL and Christian Yelich has had to miss some time with back problems, on top of Ryan Braun’s usual nagging ailments.
The light appears to be at the end of the tunnel, though. Yelich is back in the lineup for today’s 4th of July series finale against the Minnesota Twins, and earlier today Craig Counsell told reporters that Cain was nearing a return.
