CHICAGO -- Christian Yelich was one of three 2018 All-Stars among the first wave of players named Monday to represent Major League Baseball in the Japan All-Star Series in November.
Yelich said he debated the invitation for some time. On one hand, it's important to recharge after a grueling season that he and the Brewers hope extends into October. On the other hand, Yelich has learned not to let opportunity pass him by.
"Sometimes you get so caught up in your lane and you don't want to deviate from your routine," he said.
