Christian Yelich experienced mild COVID-19 symptoms Monday and tested positive.

Milwaukee Brewers leftfielder Christian Yelich has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced Tuesday.

Here are the basics:

What does this mean for Yelich?

He’ll be quarantined for at least 10 days, per Major League Baseball protocols. He was not with the team for its trip to Pittsburgh, which was delayed from Monday to Tuesday because of the positive test.

Has he been vaccinated?

Yelich, 29, had taken part in a team vaccination event April 5 in conjunction with the Milwaukee Department of Health. Brewers players were given the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine at that time.

The team later announced it had reached the 85% vaccination rate mandated by MLB for players and staff that allowed the relaxation of certain protocols.

How did Yelich find out he had coronavirus?

According to Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns, Yelich began having some mild symptoms, reported them to the team and was tested Monday afternoon. The test came back positive, as did a confirmation test.

Was anyone else affected?

Utility player Jace Peterson did not test positive but was placed in quarantine for seven days after contact tracing per MLB rules.

Led by medical director Roger Caplinger, the team performed the necessary contact tracing and additional testing, Stearns said.

What roster moves did the Brewers make to replace Yelich and Peterson?

They recalled outfielder Lorenzo Cain from his minor-league rehab assignment with Class AAA Nashville, which they already had plans to do this week, and also called up utility player Pablo Reyes from the Sounds.
