Milwaukee Brewers' president of baseball operations announced that Christian Yelich underwent back surgery on Friday, with hopes of being ready for the start of the 2025 season. The surgery was deemed necessary due to ongoing back issues that have plagued the three-time All-Star throughout his career.
Yelich, who was leading the National League in batting and on-base percentage before landing on the injured list in late July, has not played since July 23. The 32-year-old outfielder opted for a diskectomy procedure to address the damage in his spine, performed by Dr. Brandon Rebholz in Milwaukee.
