Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed optimism about Christian Yelich's recovery from back surgery, stating he is expected to be ready for spring training. Yelich, who has faced ongoing back issues, was performing well before his injury, boasting a .315 batting average and leading the National League in on-base percentage prior to his July absence.

His health is crucial for the Brewers, especially after losing Willy Adames to the San Francisco Giants. Yelich, a former MVP and multiple All-Star, aims to return strong for his 13th MLB season.
