Christian Yelich Injury: Scratched Wednesday

Yelich was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to lower-back soreness.

Yelich has dealt with back problems throughout his career, though Wednesday marks the first time he's had an issue since undergoing season-ending surgery on his back last August. He'll aim to return to the starting nine for Thursday's series finale; meanwhile, Jackson Chourio -- originally slated for a day off while managing a hamstring cramp -- will step in as Milwaukee's designated hitter and bat second.
