Christian Yelich (neck) is not in the lineup on Sunday vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yelich has now missed three straight games after exiting Thursday's contest vs. the D-Backs early with neck discomfort. Milwaukee is hoping he can avoid the injured list but fantasy managers still need to consider him day-to-day. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .259/.360/.387 with 11 long balls, 45 RBI, and 16 thefts over 468 at-bats on the season. Rookie
Esteury Ruiz is batting ninth and starting in left field against
Zac Gallen and the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Christian Yelich (neck) is day-to-day after leaving the game early on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with neck discomfort. "He just irritated his neck on one of the swings in that second at-bat. We're day-to-day. I think there's a chance he misses a couple of days but I wouldn't worry about it past that," Counsell said. Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Yelich for a few days, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term issue. Yelich went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before departing and is now hitting .259/.360/.387 on the season with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, 83 runs scored and 16 stolen bases. He finished the month of August hitting .255 (26-for-102) with three homers, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases.

Christian Yelich had a terrific night at the plate on Saturday by going 4-for-5 in his club's 7-0 win over the Cubs. Three of his hits went for singles but the biggest one came in the seventh inning when he blasted a three-run homer off
Rowan Wick to right field. It was the 10th long ball of the year for the former MVP who is now hitting .260 on the year with 81 runs, 42 RBI, and 16 stolen bases through 120 games. Although his days of a first-round fantasy superstar appear to be over, Yelich is still providing some speed and sturdy counting numbers in his age-30 season.
