OF Christian Yelich (low back strain)
Expected return: May
It's a familiar ailment for Yelich, who has battled back issues since his mid-20s with the Marlins. The latest bout came amid a torrid start to the season, knocking him out of the Brewers' April 12 series opener in Baltimore. Yelich had already been doing better running and throwing before a minor breakthrough on May 3 at Wrigley Field, when he had his best session yet swinging the bat in the cage. His goal, he said, is to play before the end of the Brewers' current road trip. (Last updated: May 3)
