Yelich tested positive for the virus and will miss at least 10 days. He started developing mild symptoms on Monday despite being fully vaccinated. The Brewers are also placing Jace Peterson on the COVID-19 list due to contact tracing and he will miss at least seven days. Lorenzo Cain (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding roster move.
