Murphy also told WTMJ the Brewers "are going to make sure that doesn't become chronic."

The Brewers are already without outfielder Jackson Chourio and first baseman Andrew Vaughn, so further adding Yelich to the list of injured Brewers would leave out three of the team's projected top five hitters in the lineup.

Milwaukee will try to snap a five-game losing streak beginning at 6:40 p.m. against Toronto.
