Milwaukee Brewers fans are on edge despite the team’s win over the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday. Christian Yelich was scratched from the lineup due to a sore back. It’s a dreaded update for the Brewers faithful after Yelich underwent season-ending back surgery last year.

The former MVP has been dealing with pain in his back since the Arizona Diamondbacks series, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Todd Rosiak. Yelich will remain out of the lineup for Thursday’s finale against Philly.

The Brewers anticipate Yelich returning for the upcoming series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rosiak added that the team “appears confident” the three-time All-Star will be able to play the rest of the season.
