Yelich will get a day off Sunday, last playing in Saturday’s 4-0 win over the Cardinals, going 1-for-4. In a season marred by injury, Yelich has played 94 games, slashing .252/.372/.385 with eight home runs.

Jace Peterson will take over left field duties in place of Yelich Sunday, batting second. Priced at $2,300 on FanDuel, Peterson has appeared in 76 games, hitting .269 with a .389 OBP and five home runs.

With the series tied at one game apiece, the Brewers, who currently lead the National League Central with an 83-54 record, will go for the series win against the division rival.
