Brewers Shake Up Lineup: Yelich Moves to No. 2 Spot
8 Oct
Summary
- Brewers move Christian Yelich to the No. 2 batting spot.
- Jake Bauers drops to fifth and starts at first base.
- Robert Gasser is the starting pitcher for the Brewers.
The Milwaukee Brewers have announced a significant lineup change ahead of Tuesday night's NLDS Game 4 against the San Diego Padres. Veteran slugger Christian Yelich has been moved up to the No. 2 spot in the batting order, a notable shift from his usual position lower in the lineup.
Yelich, who has recorded at least one hit in every game of the series so far, will now bat behind leadoff hitter Jackson Chourio. This strategic adjustment means Jake Bauers will move to the fifth spot and start at first base, with Yelich continuing to serve as the designated hitter.
On the mound for the Brewers in Game 4 will be left-hander Robert Gasser, while the Padres will counter with right-hander Walker Buehler. Should the series extend to a decisive Game 5, the Brewers are expected to turn to ace Jacob Misiorowski.
