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.
