Yelich became the first player in Major League Baseball history to have consecutive seasons with at least one hit after the 2019 campaign.

He hit .205/.356/.430 with 12 home runs in the condensed 60-game 2020 season.
Yelich began the 2021 season with a nagging back injury that required him to miss more than half of the months of April and May.
On May 11, 2022, Yelich hit the third cycle of his career, making him the sixth player in MLB history to do so and the first to do so three times against the Cincinnati Reds.
