It feels good, he wants to play. It’s amazing that he has played so many games,” commented Brewers manager Pat Murphy. “After back surgery, we didn’t know what to expect, but the surgeon assured him that this was going to happen, although it’s incredible that it hasn’t happened before, so we must be grateful.<\/p>Pat Murphy, Brewers Manager<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nYelich was scratched at the last minute last Wednesday before a 6-3 victory over Philadelphia. Murphy explained that Yelich began to feel pain during a series against Arizona late last month. Despite this, he played 22 consecutive games before leaving the lineup last week.\n\n

He came today and said to me: ‘Am I on the team, right?'”, said Murphy. “He wants to play. It’s a good thing when your leader wants to be on the field as soon as possible.<\/p>Pat Murphy, Brewers Manager<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nYelich made his 112th start as a designated hitter on Monday, and has also started 18 games in left field this season. Murphy mentioned that, although “there is a reason” for Yelich to play a couple of games in the outfield before the end of the regular season, this is not a priority.\n\nIn other injury news, right-handed pitcher Grant Anderson returned from the injured list to bolster the Brewers’ bullpen.\n\nRight-handed pitcher Craig Yoho was sent to Triple-A Nashville.\n\nAnderson last pitched for Milwaukee on August 23 before being placed on the injured list due to tendinitis in his right ankle. The 28-year-old has a 2-5 record and a 2.87 ERA in 57 appearances. He has struck out 66 batters in 62\u2154 innings.\n\nThe Brewers still have All-Star closer Trevor Megill (right flexor), left-handed pitcher DL Hall (right oblique), and right-handed pitchers Nick Mears (back) and Shelby Miller (right elbow) on the injured list.\n\nMurphy reported that Megill is scheduled to throw a simulated game on Tuesday, and likely another before he can pitch again.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
