19 Aug
Summary
- Christian Yelich returns to the Brewers lineup batting fifth.
- The Brewers hold MLB's best record at 77-48.
- Milwaukee starts a series against the Seattle Mariners Tuesday.
The Milwaukee Brewers are preparing to host the Seattle Mariners for a three-game series, commencing on Tuesday. A significant roster move for the Brewers sees Christian Yelich returning to the starting lineup. Yelich, a 14-year veteran, will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter. He missed the Brewers' most recent game, a 6-2 victory on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Brice Turang is also making a return, slotting in at second base and leading off the game. William Contreras, who was the designated hitter on Sunday, will return to his primary catching position. Yelich’s return comes as he has struggled this season, posting career lows in several statistical categories with 8 home runs and 40 RBIs in 86 games.
Milwaukee enters this series with the best record in Major League Baseball, standing at 77-48. They hold comfortable leads in their division and the National League standings. This homestand follows a challenging seven-game road trip where the Brewers went 3-4 against the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers.
