Brewers Star Designated Hitter Leaves Game with Apparent Injury
Gary Sánchez replaced Yelich in the fifth inning, and the Brewers said the three-time All-Star left with left hamstring tightness.
Milwaukee Brewers designated hitter Christian Yelich left Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals with left hamstring tightness, removed during the fifth inning.
The Milwaukee Brewers entered the series finale on a four-game losing streak, having scored only six runs across those consecutive defeats.
Gary Sanchez pinch-hit for Yelich in the fifth inning after the designated hitter went 0 for 2, hitting grounders each time.
Hamstring tightness can sometimes lead to strains, potentially requiring injured list stints lasting over a month, creating concern for the franchise.
With an off day Monday, the team will evaluate whether Yelich returns to the lineup on Tuesday when play resumes.
