I would just move Yelich to left and DH Hoskins. Not ideal, but not terrible.
That does rule Chourio out of the NLCS as well. Players who are replaced on the playoff roster due to injury are ineligible for the following series (in the same postseason of course). If it's minor, this could be a dilemma, but I'm guessing it would keep him out for a few weeks anyway.
Hoskins is a decent fit against all their LHP starters, so there's some silver lining. Imanaga will start games 2 and 5, and Boyd will start game 4, if the series goes that far.
