After getting hit by a pitch within the first inning of Sunday’s recreation towards the Philadelphia Phillies, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Christian Yelich was later eliminated as a result of a “proper hand contusion.”
Yelich, who served because the Brewers’ designated hitter, stayed within the recreation to run within the first. However when his spot within the order got here round once more within the third, Eric Haase batted for him.
Yelich had been one of many hottest hitters within the main leagues previous to being hit by Phillies starter Ranger Suarez. Over his earlier eight video games, the 33-year-old outfielder had gone 17 of 36 (.472) with 5 homers, 10 runs, 13 RBIs and two steals.
That spree, which included a walk-off grand slam Could 27 towards the Boston Pink Sox, boosted Yelich’s slash line from .184/.276/.324 to .233/.314/.423.
Together with his 12 homers and 10 stolen bases, Yelich was one in every of 11 big-league gamers with double digits in homers and steals — becoming a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani, Arizona’s Corbin Carroll, the Chicago Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker, Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz, Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz, Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez, San Diego’s Fernando Tatis Jr., the New York Mets’ Francisco Lindor and Texas’ Wyatt Langford.
The Brewers introduced Yelich’s hand contusion midgame, and did not instantly say whether or not Yelich will want a stint on the 10-day injured checklist.
