Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Another year, another season with back issues for Yelich, which this time required surgery and caused him to miss the final two-plus months of the campaign after also spending time on the IL earlier in the season. He was limited to 73 games but was back to producing at a near-MVP level when available with 11 home runs, 21 stolen bases and a .315/.406/.504 slash line, which is by far his best performance since he won an MVP and posted a 1.046 OPS over his first two years in Milwaukee during 2018 and 2019. The major difference for his production in 2024 was the launch angle, which at 5.2 degrees was his highest mark since 2020, and a career-high 40.7 percent pull rate. Having finally undergone the necessary surgery, there's hope that Yelich's back problems will now fully be in the rearview mirror, but that may be an optimistic assumption as he enters his age-33 campaign. He could see more time at designated hitter given the injuries and Milwaukee's strong outfield depth. If he's clear of the back issues and can sustain the 2024 production, Yelich would be back on an All-Star path in 2025, but those are a couple big "ifs" that carry plenty of risk for fantasy managers.

Cleared to start Monday
Yelich (hand) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Reds, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Yelich was forced out of Sunday's 5-2 win over the Phillies when he was struck on the right hand by a pitch during his lone plate appearance of the day, but he was fortunate to avoid any major damage after X-rays came back negative. Following the game, Yelich said that he was still dealing with some swelling and soreness on the hand that made it difficult to grip a bat, but he appears to have made good progress overnight. He'll be back in the lineup for the series opener in Cincinnati and will look to continue what's been his most productive offensive stretch of the season. Over his last nine starts, Yelich has gotten on base at a .525 clip and has slugged five home runs to go along with two steals.

Stat Review
How does Christian Yelich compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The veteran outfielder broke out of his two-year funk in 2023, finishing with a .278/.370/.447 slash line to go along with 19 homers, 28 steals (31 attempts) and 78 RBI in 144 games. It's a far cry from the MVP-level production Yelich posted during his first two years in Milwaukee, but it's still a marked improvement on his .737 OPS from the previous two seasons. A .342 BABIP was backed up by an xBA of .277 and xSLG of .450, which indicates his 2023 results should be sustainable. Yelich's chronic back issues continue to linger and cost him nearly two weeks in September, but he's still played in all but 26 games over the last two years. That MVP form is likely long gone as he enters his age-32 campaign, but Yelich will still have plenty of fantasy value with a decent chance at a 20-20 campaign in 2024.
