For the second straight day, Jason Heyward sat out because of a sore back.
"He said it just still bothered him a little bit," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It's a good sign he moved around and tested it. I'm not really worried about it, necessarily."
Heyward, who hasn't played since Friday, was an early scratch from Gonzalez's lineup on Sunday after getting a stiff back during his scheduled off-day on Saturday.
"I don't feel like it's that alarming," Gonzalez said about Heyward's back. "He knows it, and he's taking care of it -- he does his preventive stuff. I think he'll be all right."
