PHOENIX — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich took a step forward Saturday in his return from back surgery by playing in a game for the first time since July. Yelich was the designated hitter for the Brewers' 9-4 Cactus League victory over the Texas Rangers. The 2018 NL MVP went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts and an RBI. The 33-year-old Yelich had last played in a game on July 23. He went on the injured list later that month and underwent surgery in August to remove the damaged part of a disk in the spine.
