On top of that, they’ll have to do it without another one of their top players in Christian Yelich. The Brewers officially placed Christian Yelich on the 10 day IL on Tuesday with a left adductor strain. His estimated return is mid-to-late May, so 4-6 weeks. The Brewers selected the contract of outfielder Greg Jones to take Yelich’s roster spot. To make room on the 40 man roster, Rob Zastryzny was transferred to the 60 day IL. “It’s unfortunate. Have had a lot of adversity early. We’ve faced this before. It just seems different in terms of how it’s kind of piled on us.” Pat Murphy said. “We say you’re an inch from the top and an inch from the bottom. So here we are. Deal with it. Lot to be learned during this time. Lot to be revealed”. With Yelich and Chourio out, Luis Matos will get the start in left field tonight against the Blue Jays. Gary Sanchez will be the DH and Pat Murphy said Sanchez will likely get a lot of those DH at bats going forward. Sal Frelick will be in the leadoff spot tonight for just the second time this season. It’s only the third game where Brice Turang hasn’t been leadoff. Turang will hit third tonight and may get more chances there going forward with Yelich out. On the bump, Jacob Misiorowski will be making his fourth start of the season. He has a 3.31 ERA through the first couple of turns in the rotation with 28 strikeouts in 16.1 IP. Righty Kevin Gausman is on the mound for Toronto. He has a 2.08 ERA through his first three starts.
