Christian Yelich is back for the Brewers.
Milwaukee activated its star outfielder from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Padres at American Family Field. The team optioned first baseman/outfielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
Yelich had been sidelined since April 13 with a left groin strain. Before then, he had a .314/.375/.451 slash line with one homer and 10 RBIs through his first 15 games this season. Despite missing 23 games, Yelich returns to the Brewers without going on a rehab assignment.
Black, who made his season debut on April 24, has played in nine games this season. He’s batting .333 (9-for-27) with an .838 OPS.
