The Milwaukee Brewers have been ravaged by a spate of injuries this season, but the biggest blow undoubtedly happened in the first inning of series game two in Miami against the Marlins on Tuesday night. Batting third in the top of the first inning, Yelich fouled a ball off his knee in a 1-2 count and went down to the ground for several minutes before leaving the game under his own power. Unfortunately, it was announced after the game that he will miss the rest of the regular season with a right kneecap fracture.
The evening’s events would have been that much worse if the Menomonee Valley Nine had dropped the game against the lowly Marlins, and it was a closely fought contest throughout.
