Brewers Christian Yelich, Jace Peterson go on COVID-19 IL By Zac Wassink | Last updated 7/27/21
The Milwaukee Brewers traveled to start their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday evening but will be without two familiar faces for more than just a few games.
Per Adam McCalvy of the MLB website, Brewers star left fielder Christian Yelich has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list after he tested positive for the virus even though he is considered fully vaccinated. Infielder Jace Peterson was later added to the COVID-19 IL following contact-tracing protocols.
Yelich is out for a minimum of 10 days and was experiencing mild symptoms as of Monday, while Peterson will be sidelined for at least seven days. In corresponding roster moves, Milwaukee activated outfielder Lorenzo Cain from the injured list and recalled utility player Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Nashville.
