(Matt Slocum/Associated Press)MILWAUKEE — NL MVP Christian Yelich has been scratched from Milwaukee’s lineup against Cincinnati for a second consecutive day because of back spasms. “He’s improved today,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday. He missed parts of seven games this season because of back problems and also missed time last season. Not worrisome from my end.”Hernán Pérez replaced Yelich in right field.
