Sal Frelick Leaves Game Early After Collision Into Wall
2 months agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (undisclosed) left the Brewers game against the New York Mets early after crashing into the wall attempting to catch a foul ball in the top of the second inning. He was replaced by Garrett Mitchell after going 0-for-2 at the plate. Frelick was limping heavily while leaving the field, certainly not a sight the Brewers wanted to see with the playoffs right around the corner. No information on his condition has been released by the team yet, and until then, he should be considered day-to-day, though it won't be surprising to see the Brewers rest the 24-year-old throughout the weekend. Frelick was subpar at the plate in 2024, hitting for just an 83 OPS+. Much of his value lies in his fielding skills, though, as his sprint speed and OAA both rank in the 90th percentiles in 2024. Should he miss any time in the playoffs, it will certainly be a blow to a surprisingly strong Brewers team. Mitchell should be expected to get starts if Frelick misses any time. UPDATE: Manager Pat Murphy said Frelick will have an MRI exam on his left hip on Saturday. X-rays at the stadium were inconclusive.
