Christian Yelich is returning to the injured list with a lower back strain just one day after being activated by the Milwaukee Brewers.

Yelich played on Monday for the first time since April 11.

"Last night told us that he's not going to be able to do this on a daily basis. And so we need to stop and completely resolve this," Craig Counsell said. "... At this point, we don't have an answer."

Yelich said Tuesday he is feeling tightness, pain and restriction in his back. Asked where he goes from here, he said: "It goes to finding more answers and getting a better hold on what's going on."
