Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Yelich was a late scratch for Tuesday's starting lineup due to mid-back tightness, and he hasn't played since, although the Brewers don't believe it's as serious as the back issues that plagued him last year. With the All-Star break coming next week, it's possible Milwaukee plays it safe and holds the 30-year-old out until the start of the second half of the ...
