Miami Marlins left fielder Christian Yelich has been placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to Monday because of a lower back strain. Yelich, who also spent a two-week stint on the disabled list last season with a similar injury, is batting only .200 with 13 strikeouts in 11 games. The Marlins recalled first baseman Justin Bour from Triple-A New Orleans on Friday as they opened as homestand against Washington. Ichiro Suzuki has been filling in for Yelich in left field.
