The 2019 season came to a screeching halt for Christian Yelich in the first inning of this past Tuesday’s game. The Milwaukee Brewers were on the road facing Yelich’s former team, the Miami Marlins. Batting third, Yelich fouled a pitch from Elieser Hernandez into his right knee and immediately crumpled to the ground in pain. He was down for several minutes before eventually walking off the field, but tests later confirmed the worst-case scenario — a broken knee cap for Yelich and an 8-10 week recovery timeline, effectively ending his regular season and any hopes he had of contributing in the playoffs.
