Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his lower back.
The Brewers announced the roster move on Wednesday. Yelich left Tuesday's win over the Chicago Cubs in the sixth inning after running gingerly to first base on a groundout.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the injury could require back surgery that would end his 2024 season.
Speaking to reporters prior to Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Yelich didn't sound optimistic about this being a short-term issue.
"I don't really want to get into like the specifics of it, but yeah, not great," he said.
