LOS ANGELES -- Ryan Braun was out of the Milwaukee Brewers' starting lineup for their NL wild-card elimination game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.

Braun was replaced in right field by Tyrone Taylor. Braun could be used as a pinch-hitter.

Braun left with mid-back discomfort in the fifth inning of a 4-2 loss on Wednesday after hitting a wall making a catch. He struck out twice.

Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell tweaked his lineup for Game 2, dropping left fielder Christian Yelich from leadoff to the No. 2 spot. Center fielder Avisail Garcia leads off.

Catcher Jacob Nottingham and Taylor both got the start after pinch hitting in Game 1. Designated hitter Ryon Healy bats cleanup. He went 1 for 7 during the regular season while spending most of it at the team's alternate site.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made Will Smith the designated hitter, with Austin Barnes behind the plate to handle starter Clayton Kershaw. Edwin Rios had been the DH in Game 1.
