Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports The Milwaukee Brewers placed All-Star outfielder/designated hitter Christian Yelich on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to low back inflammation.
The team recalled catcher Gary Sanchez from the injured list in a corresponding transaction.
Yelich, 32, was removed from Tuesday's 1-0 road win against the Chicago Cubs when the nagging back injury flared up. He is expected to visit a specialist this week, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Yelich made his third All-Star team this season (first since 2019) and entered Wednesday leading the National League in batting average (.315) and on-base percentage (.406) through 73 games. He has 11 homers, 42 RBIs and 21 steals.
Sanchez, 31, has not played since June 23 due to a strained left calf. He is batting .218 with seven homers and 21 RBIs in 51 games and is a candidate to fill Yelich's role at DH.
