Milwaukee Brewers scratched Christian Yelich with a sore back as they edged Philadelphia 6-3 in the finale, signaling a cautious but hopeful return for the star ahead of the Pirates series. The update echoes last year’s back surgery, yet Milwaukee sits atop the NL Central with the league’s best record, keeping fantasy managers on their toes as Yelich’s health drives lineup decisions.

Yelich’s season totals (27 HR, 92 RBI in 132 games) underscore his power and value when healthy. The Phillies’ rally in the opener contrasted with Milwaukee’s bullpen strength, while Taijuan Walker and Aaron Nola were touched early before Quintana steadied Philadelphia. The health question surrounding Yelich remains the fulcrum for Brewers’ fantasy projections down the stretch.

Misiorowski burst onto the scene with a 2.81 ERA in five starts and earned an NL All-Star nod, but he’s hit a rough patch since July, exiting a 10-8 loss to Philadelphia after 4.1 innings.

Milwaukee is guarding his workload: 55–65 pitches per start and a combined 111.1 innings between Triple-A and the majors, a plan designed to protect his arm as October looms.

The Brewers stay committed to him in the rotation, hoping his 103 mph heater becomes a dominating asset, even as the rotation depth thins and Milwaukee holds a 4.5-game lead over Philly.

Brent Rooker headlines Monday's MLB HR props at +450 versus Sonny Gray, a matchup that the model flags as prime value given Gray's recent HR surge. Rooker’s power against right-handed pitching and his track record against RH starters push him to the top of the list, with Soto (+400) and Yelich (+500) joining as strong, complementary targets against Morton and Walker respectively. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Taijuan Walker appear in nearby value bets as well.

Value plays hinge on park factors, line movement, and the RH/LH split dynamics, with several sportsbook promos offering first-bet refunds or bonus bets for new players.
