The Brewers have placed Christian Yelich and Jace Peterson on the COVID-related injury list, president of baseball operations David Stearns told MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy (Twitter links). Yelich has tested positive for COVID-19 while Peterson is on the list due to contact tracing. Stearns noted that Yelich had already been fully vaccinated and is exhibiting mild symptoms, though the outfielder is expected to be back after the mandatory 10-day quarantine period.
To fill the two open roster spots, Lorenzo Cain is being activated off the 10-day injured list and Pablo Reyes was called up from Triple-A. Cain was expected to return from the IL today, following an absence of almost two months while recovering from a hamstring strain.
The most important news is that Yelich is feeling relatively good following his positive test, though the former NL MVP will now be sidelined for the third time this season. Yelich had two earlier IL placements due to back problems, costing him close to five weeks’ worth of action. This nagging back issue has bothered Yelich for a few years, contributing to his below-average performance since the start of the 2020 season. After his last 522 plate appearances, Yelich has hit .221/.370/.397 — a far cry from his .327/.415/.631 slash line over 1231 PA in 2018-19.
The Brewers are known to be looking for hitting help prior to the trade deadline, and losing Yelich will only add to the team’s search. Peterson has also been a good addition to the roster over 50 games 161 PA this season, hitting .244/.373/.397 (good for a 109 OPS+ and 113 wRC+) after signing a minor league deal with Milwaukee this past winter.
It isn’t known what Cain will be able to provide after his second IL trip of the season, and the veteran has mostly been an offensive non-factor since the start of the 2019 season. Cain has hit only .256/.327/.369 over his last 762 PA, as he has been hampered by multiple injuries and also elected to sit out much of the 2020 season.

“They” are correct. “It” works because Yelich has only mild symptoms, will not require hospitalization, and won’t die from it. Get the shot!

People his age do and have died from Covid. Only small minded ignorant people don’t understand that getting the vaccine will stop this horrible virus. Years ago they made it mandatory to give everyone polio shots. Nobody cried around saying it was a violation of there rights. We all took the shots and lived healthy happy lived. Why is this any different? Whooping cough and mumps were other examples of shots that people didn’t get their panties in a bunch over. Take the shot people. Don’t get sick and die or don’t get your parents kids or grandkids sick. Take the shots knuckleheads.

Pretty much everyone who is dying now isn’t vaccinated. That’s not fear mongering that’s fact.
It’s also fact that people who contract the virus develop long-lasting symptoms that can impact quality of life. The vaccine also reduces risk of symptoms.

Definitely a lot of commitment for an average player. Especially a team like Milwaukee that isn’t known to carry a high payroll.
It is interesting though. A player has a monster year or two, signs a hefty contract, and then falls flat. Seems like that happens more often than we think.
Brandon Crawford is in a contract year…..look at his numbers compared to recent years. . Crazy.

I’ve always really like Yelich, but the Crew had him under control for a while, too. Seemed unnecessary at the time, even though people were lauding it. Had plenty of arguments on here about why it wasn’t prudent. Backs are a fickle thing, hopefully Yelich finds a way to avoid having it ruin his career.

Historically, extensions rarely payoff. Players become complacent until the next contract year. No need to argue, just look them up.

I know right? I’m vaccinated, but that was my choice weighing all factors important to me and talking to my doctor. This thing is way to politicized and way too many people being parrots of msm propaganda. Everybody decide what’s best for you! Freedom!

My ninety-two year old father is currently in the hospital with COVID. Outside of a 101 fever he had NO symptoms. Unbelievable for his age. The nurse told us the vaccine saved his life. He will be in the hospital for a few more days and then he’ll go home to my 86 year old mom who didn’t catch it from him.

Glad to hear he’ll be okay.
I went to the ER last night and tested positive. I have some body aches and a light cough but fortunately my 02 levels were okay.
baseballnerd20
Thanks. Glad your OK!!

And hopefully will continue to be OK. People aren’t generally hospitalized during the first few days of the illness.

Your dad is a trooper! Glad to hear that being vaccinated kept things mild.

Want the vax? Great, get it! But there are risks involved…
Don’t want the vax? Great, don’t get it! But there are risks involved.
America was pretty much based upon her inhabitants making their own risk assessments.
One side of the current divide wants ME, and MY family, to conform to ITS risk-assessment.
As an American, I will respectfully decline to do so, and tell you to **** off.
AaronAngst
What are the “risks” associated with getting the vaccine? I mean, real risks, not just what your “media source” is telling you they heard. Right wingers love to throw the sheep metaphor around, and yet it’s lost on them that their entire ideology is essentially following the loudest and stupidest of us.

1. The KNOWN risks associated with getting any of the vaccines are in the manufacturer’s literature, as with all medicines.
2. NO ONE has any idea yet what other risks there might be, as we are in the near term, and those would be manifest over a longer term.
Here, this is from the CDC :
Reports of adverse events following the use of J&J/Janssen vaccine suggest an increased risk of a rare adverse event called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). Nearly all reports of this serious condition, which involves blood clots with low platelets, have been in adult women younger than 50 years old.
A review of all available data at this time shows that the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine’s known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks.
However, women younger than 50 years old especially should be aware of the rare but increased risk of this adverse event and that there are other COVID-19 vaccine options available for which this risk has not been seen.

I wish they would just make it mandatory to get the vaccine. Way too many idiots out there. Don’t let the unvaccinated get into ballparks movies planes etc etc. or even grocery stores. If they don’t want to help stop the spread then make them stay home.
1984wasntamanual
That’s a great plan comrade.

Sounds like communism much… let’s just tell everyone what to do with no say. F that I pay taxes and work for the man so I want what freedom
I have and make the choices I want.

Yeah a choice to not get vaccinated is a choice to perhaps kill thousands of people.
1984wasntamanual
Or…no one. Which is more likely?
Shrutefarm
Not trolling, serious question. How does not getting the vaccine hurt others? Unless you’re saying vaccinated individuals can’t spread it? , Is that true? Once you get the vaccine, you can know longer be a carrier and spread it?
Please enlighten me.
themed
Because you can get it and spread it to other ignorant people that aren’t vaccinated. The more people vaccinated the more likely the virus doesn’t spread Einstein. Wake up get your shots. Get your polio mumps and measles also. Never mind those were already forced upon you morons.
Colt 45
There is really no limit to what you would force on everyone for “the public good”, is there?
Shrutefarm
Rhetoric and insults aside, you never really answered my main question. Are vaccinated individuals still contagious, or no?
themed
Most likely not contagious because they most likely will not incurred the virus. If they would get it no hospital stays or deaths. It’s not hard to understand people. Try to use common sense if you have any.
Shrutefarm
If vaccinated individuals are most likely not contagious, then why is Yelich being quarantined?

I know many hospitals have implemented that their employees get the vaccination or lose your job. Very thankful this is starting to happen. Hope more companies follow this policy. So yeah then you still have a choice. If you want to be all high and mighty to refuse the vaccine then find another job. Love it!

It’s fascinating to me how it’s the Trump haters that love the vaccine and the Trump lovers that hate the vaccine. It just shows you that most folks use no logic when it comes to politics.
