UPDATE: Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick has been placed on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, just as the team kicks off the second half of the season. The injury occurred while Frelick made a sliding catch during the final game before the All-Star break on Sunday, July 9, 2023. The IL move is retroactive to Tuesday, July 11, 2023.
Frelick’s injury is a significant blow to the Brewers, as he has been an essential player on the roster. Following the All-Star break, he was spotted running in the outfield at Dodger Stadium, having spent his time off training at home in the Boston area with his personal trainer.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy expressed concern about the absence of Frelick, stating, “Just knowing Sal, he’s going to want to return as soon as possible, but we got to be smart. He’s a really important part of our club. It’s difficult to think about playing without him because he’s such an intricate cog of our club.”
To fill the gap left by Frelick’s injury, the Brewers have activated Blake Perkins off the 60-day IL. Fans and analysts will be closely watching Frelick’s recovery progress, as his return could greatly impact the team’s performance in the coming weeks.
As the Brewers gear up for their next series, the urgency surrounding Frelick’s condition adds tension to the team’s dynamics. The organization is hopeful for a swift recovery, but the timeline remains uncertain. Further updates on Frelick’s status are expected as the team navigates this challenging situation.
Stay tuned for more breaking developments on Frelick’s recovery and the Brewers’ upcoming games.
