Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after Saturday's win over the Yankees that the decision to scratch Yelich (back) from the lineup was precautionary, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Yelich has a long history of back issues, and because of that Counsell said the team has a good feel when to push things or give the outfielder a day or two. With an afternoon game on the docket Sunday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Yelich be held out until Monday, when the Brewers return home to host the Marlins.
