Resting up Wednesday
Yelich is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
Analyse
The Brewers and Padres are closing out their series with a day game after a night game, and a lefty (Robbie Ray) is on the hill for San Diego, so the left-handed-hitting Yelich will unsurprisingly receive the afternoon off. William Contreras will get a day off from catching but will stick in the lineup in Yelich's usual spot at designated hitter.

Snaps homer drought Monday
Yelich went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Padres on Monday.
Analyse
Yelich provided all of Milwaukee's scoring with his two-run blast in the second inning. It was his first long ball over his past 14 contests and just his second across 28 games since Independence Day. Yelich has been quiet on the power front this season -- after mashing 29 homers in the regular season last year, his most since 2019, he's gone deep just eight times through 82 contests in 2026. That's led to a .694 OPS, which is on pace to be the lowest mark of his career.

Not in Sunday's lineup
Yelich is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
Analyse
Yelich started the previous six games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 4-for-23 with eight strikeouts during that span. William Contreras is resting his legs as the designated hitter, which allows Gary Sanchez to pick up a start behind the plate.
