Milwaukee brewer, former League of Nations MVP Jelich suffered a contusion on his right hand, and his daily X-ray was negative

The Brewers had a strong start to the weekend's first two games at Citizens Bank Park, but got off to a bad start in today's 5-2 win over the Phillies when Christian Yelich's opener was hit by a touchball from Ranger Suárez.

Jelich played a game but exited before striking the second in the third inning, replaced by Eric Haase. The team confirmed that he had suffered a contusion to his right hand. "It did hit the vital spot," Yelich said, "and the ball grazed the head of the stick and hit the bottom of the palm hard, swelling and making it difficult to grip the bat." "

Head coach Pat Murphy predicted that Jelic would miss Monday's game of the Reds series, but the player himself was more positive: "I'll try to come back tomorrow. As long as you regain your grip strength, you can play. "

It was Jake Bauers who scored a key second base hit in seven innings for Haas to give the Brewers the lead for the first time. Yelich batted 0.233/0.317/0.423 in 57 games this season (12 hits and 39 RBIs), and the first game of the series had a single double. Before this battle, he was in a hot period of eight consecutive wins (0.472/0.513/0.917, 5 hits and 13 dots).

"He's in severe pain in his palm and can't hold the baton, and he'll be under daily observation," Murphy revealed, "but it's a shame to have a break when he's in good shape." "
