Yelich has elected to rest and rehab his back injury, delaying a potential surgery until the offseason, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Yelich (back) will see a spine specialist Thursday to discuss the next steps in his recovery, with season-ending surgery representing one possibility, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
