Milwaukee Brewers All-Star Christian Yelich left Tuesday night’s contest against the Chicago Cubs due to back tightness, the team announced.

Yelich, who was serving as Milwaukee’s designated hitter, made three plate appearances before getting subbed out. He drew two walks before grounding out in the sixth, and Rhys Hoskins pinch-hit for him the next time he was due up in the eighth.

When manager Pat Murphy was asked for his thoughts on Yelich’s injury, he didn’t sound particularly optimistic.

“My thoughts are ‘Oh sh*t’ – can I say that?” Murphy said. “Those are my thoughts.”

As noted by The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Curt Hogg, Yelich had been dealing with back flareups over the past few days.

Yelich already suffered a lower back strain in April, costing him nearly a month of action. After missing those 23 consecutive games, though, Yelich had only missed four of the Brewers’ next 66 contests.

The 32-year-old outfielder has been enjoying a resurgent 2024 campaign, making his first All-Star appearance since 2019. He currently leads the National League with a .315 batting average and .415 on-base percentage, five years removed from his back-to-back batting titles in 2018 and 2019.

Yelich’s .504 slugging percentage and .909 OPS are also the highest they’ve been since 2019, when he finished runner-up in the NL MVP race. He won NL MVP in 2018, leading the league in both categories.

Through 73 games this season, Yelich has racked up 11 home runs, 42 RBI, 21 stolen bases and a 2.4 WAR. He recently became one of five active MLB players to hit 200 career home runs and steal 200 career bases.

It remains to be seen if Yelich will need to hit the injured list again, or if he will be able to rejoin the Brewers’ lineup for Wednesday’s finale against the Cubs. First pitch at Wrigley Field is scheduled for 2:20 p.m. ET.

A man accused of using explosives to damage a Minneapolis hair salon has pleaded guilty.

United States Attorney Andrew Luger stated Tuesday in a news release that 59-year-old Michael Allen Francisco has pleaded guilty to one count of malicious use of explosive materials to damage and destroy a Minneapolis-based property.

The charges stemmed from an incident dating back to almost two years ago.

According to court documents on November 20, 2022, at approximately 2:49 AM, a homemade explosive device detonated at a hair salon.

A Ring video camera recording from the salon was able to capture the suspect, later identified as Francisco, placing the explosive device on the window of the salon.

Almost a year later on November 6, 2023, Francisco was captured on video again damaging the same salon, this time throwing a rock through a window.

Investigators said they were able to collect DNA and other evidence connecting Francisco to both incidents.

On March 28, 2024, officers and agents executed a search warrant at Francisco’s residence.

There, law enforcement found the jacket Francisco was wearing when he threw a rock through the window, as well as multiple explosive components, a .32 caliber revolver with ammunition and methamphetamine.

Francisco is prohibited from owning firearms or ammunition. He has yet to be sentenced for the case.
