“As soon as we get back from this road trip, you’ll see (Yelich) everyday,” Murphy told WTMJ’s Wis. Morning News on Tuesday. “The Brewers (and those players) are a priority to him. He loves it.”
Murphy reiterated just how important Yelich’s leadership is to the team.
“Those young guys idolize him,” he explained. “He’s a huge part of this thing. He sets a great example. We’re very lucky.”
Yelich’s season came to an end following back surgery on Friday. His recovery will determine when can return to clubhouse.
