- Christian Yelich, the Milwaukee Brewers' cleanup hitter, did not play in the September 3, 2025 game against the Philadelphia Phillies in Milwaukee due to soreness in his lower back.
- The Brewers held Yelich out as a precaution because he experienced persistent lower back soreness despite playing through previous games this season.
- Yelich, 33 years old, has battled back issues since last season, including a stint on the injured list in July 2024 and season-ending disc surgery in mid-August 2024.
- He currently hits.268 with a team-high 27 home runs and 92 RBIs, while Milwaukee and Philadelphia entered Wednesday leading their divisions with the two best National League records.
- Yelich’s late scratch marks the first time he missed a game this season for something beyond regular rest, which could affect the Brewers’ lineup amid their division-leading position.
