NEW YORK (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich was scratched from Saturday’s game against the New York Yankees because of lower back soreness.

Yelich was slated to lead off before the two-time All-Star was dropped from the starting lineup about 10 minutes before first pitch.

Rookie Sal Frelick replaced the 2018 NL MVP ih in the leadoff spot for NL Central-leading Milwaukee, which won Friday’s opener 8-2.
