Yelich will shift to left field in 2020, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Yelich spent most of his time in right field in 2019, though manager Craig Counsell said the plan for 2020 is to primarily play the 2018 NL MVP in left field, with Ryan Braun and Avisail Garcia expected to split time in right. The 28-year-old Yelich has plenty of big-league experience in left field, including a Gold Glove award at the position in 2014. Across 130 games last season, Yelich hit .329/.429/.671 with 44 home runs, 100 runs, 97 RBI and 30 stolen bases.

Yelich (kneecap) said Sunday his knee is fully recovered and he'll enter spring training with no restrictions, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Yelich sustained the fractured right kneecap Sept. 10 and was given an 8-to-10 week recovery timeline, though he apparently didn't feel fully healthy until about a month ago since the team slow-played his rehab. The 28-year-old finished second in voting for National League MVP behind Cody Bellinger after posting a .329/.429/.671 slash line with 44 home runs, 30 stolen bases and 97 RBI in 130 games, and he's primed for another year as one of baseball's top players. Yelich should begin 2020 starting in right field for the Brewers, though the free-agent signing of Avisail Garcia and the additional roster shakeup could result in more time in left field.

Yelich (kneecap) will begin running this week and expects to be fully healthy for winter workouts, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Yelich was given an 8-to-10 week recovery timeline after fracturing his kneecap in September, and it appears as though he has been progressing well so far. A return to health in time for winter workouts would allow him to have a normal offseason and would signal that he'd likely be ready for spring training with no limitations. The 27-year-old hit .329/.429/.671 with 44 home runs and 30 stolen bases over 130 games in 2019 prior to his injury.

Yelich (kneecap) said Wednesday that his recovery is going good and that things will be back to normal after a few more weeks of rehab, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Yelich is present at Game 2 of the World Series in Houston to accept the 2019 National League Hank Aaron Award -- which is awarded to each league's top hitter -- and provided the first update on his recovery since the Brewers were eliminated from the playoffs in early October. He finished the season with a .329/.429/.671 slash line with 44 home runs, 97 RBI and 30 stolen bases in 130 games. The 27-year-old was given an 8-to-10 week recovery timeline after fracturing his right kneecap Sept. 10, so he appears to be progressing as planned. Yelich isn't expected to face any limitations for the start of spring training in February.

Yelich's rehab from a fractured kneecap is "going great," according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, and he responded, "It would be cutting it close, but you can't rule anything out," when asked about a possible return during the World Series, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.

The Brewers are going to need quite a few games to give Yelich a chance to return this season, but based on his comments, it would appear he has a chance to beat the 8-to-10 week return timetable he was given when he suffered the injury. Regardless if he makes it back this season, all is looking well with his long-term prospects, and he should be back at 100 percent well in advance of spring training in 2020.

Yelich was officially diagnosed with a right patella fracture and will need 8-to-10 weeks to fully recover, Sophia Minnaert of FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.

The Brewers are encouraged by the fact that Yelich will not require surgery and are confident that there will not be any long-term effects, so that's good news regarding Yelich's 2020 value. However, this latest timeline eliminates any chance of Yelich returning in 2019, even if the Brewers made a deep run into the postseason. He will seek a second opinion, which is commonplace with serious injuries like this one.

Yelich won't need to undergo surgery to address his fractured right kneecap and is expected to be out six weeks, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

GM David Stearns said Yelich wouldn't receive an additional update until Thursday, but he appears to have received good news shortly after returning to Milwaukee to be evaluated. A six-week timeline is essentially a best-case scenario after the 27-year-old fouled a ball off his kneecap Tuesday, though it does nothing to reduce the impact of his absence as Milwaukee pushes for the playoffs. The Brewers are likely to provide an official update for Yelich on Thursday.

GM David Stearns told Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the Brewers will not have any additional updates on Yelich (kneecap) until Thursday.

Yelich has already been ruled out for the season as a result of the fractured kneecap he suffered in Tuesday's contest, but it has not yet been determined if he will need surgery. That decision will determine just what type of return timetable he is looking at, and if the injury will affect his status for the 2020 season.

Yelich will miss the rest of the 2019 season after suffering a fractured right kneecap during Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The 27-year-old fouled a ball off the kneecap during the first inning and immediately went to a knee in pain, and he remained on the ground for several minutes before leaving the field. It's a devastating development for the Brewers' playoff hopes and Yelich as he was vying to earn his second consecutive NL MVP award. It's currently unclear whether surgery will be necessary. He'll finish the 2019 season with a .329/.429/.671 slash line and 44 home runs, 97 RBI and 30 stolen bases in 130 games. Trent Grisham seems likely to slot into an everyday role in his absence.

Yelich was removed from Tuesday's game at Miami after fouling a ball off his right knee, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.

Yelich appeared to take the contact around the top of his kneecap and immediately went to the ground in pain. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but he was able to leave the field under his own power. Trent Grisham has taken over in right field for the Brewers.

Yelich went 2-for-3 with one run scored, three stolen bases, three walks and a walkoff RBI double in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Yelich may not have hit a homer Saturday, but he did pretty much everything else in a game that otherwise featured little offensively. The Cubs pitched around him for most of the evening but decided to attack him with the winning run on first base in the bottom of the ninth, only for Yelich to lace a 2-2 pitch to the left-field corner to give the Brewers the win. The three stolen bases brings his season total to 30 (he's been caught only twice). The 27-year-old is slashing .329/.426/.675 with 44 home runs, 98 runs scored and 97 RBI as he continues his bid for a second straight NL MVP award.

Yelich went 3-for-4 with a walk, a three-run homer and a stolen base in Friday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.

The reigning NL MVP isn't relinquishing his crown easily. Yelich has gone yard three times in the last five games to give him 44 homers on the year, extending his career high and keeping him in the thick of the race for the league's home-run title with Pete Alonso and Cody Bellinger, and his 27 steals, .421 OBP and .672 SLG are all personal bests as well.

The JAR entry will carry the No. 31 on both sides of the sleek red, white, and black Chevrolet Camaro SS. Bommarito Automotive Group will return for the sixth consecutive year as a primary marketing partner of Anderson. Details of other partners on the JAR No. 31 to be announced at a later date.

D'Angelo Russell (quad contusion) is unlikely to play on Monday vs. the Warriors.

Coach Ryan Saunders said on Monday that Russell injured his quad on Friday vs. Atlanta, but previously said he sat out Saturday's game for a pre-planned rest day. Very strange. Saunders added that Russell is dealing with some swelling and it sounds like they are going to be very cautious here. You could make an argument that are determined to do their best to keep their top-3 protected pick. With Russell likely to sit, Ricky Rubio will get extensive run as the primary ball-handler with Jordan McLaughlin backing him up.

T. Bauer - SP

Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports that the Mets "continue to be engaged" on free agent starter Trevor Bauer.

Martino adds that an agreement is not close and other clubs are involved. Still, the Mets' interest appears to be real. Signing Bauer could push the Mets up against the $210 million luxury tax threshold, but that might not be much of a setback for new owner Steve Cohen. After all, it has been treated as a salary cap by MLB teams when in reality it's not that at all. The question is whether the Mets feel adding a talented pitcher like Bauer would be worth the public blowback when they could spend their cash to add a center fielder, a reliever, and an extra infielder, fitting with their needs. Stay tuned.

BUF

Bills WR Cole Beasley said he broke his fibula at the end of the season.

It was listed as a "knee" injury on Buffalo's injury reports throughout the postseason. Beasley said it "hurt" in the Wild Card round against Indy but was "slightly less" painful in both the Divisional Round and Conference Championship. Though not a full break, it's possible the 31-year-old undergoes offseason surgery before returning for OTAs and minicamp.
