Wed Aug 6 | 18:24 | Sal Frelick Returning on Wednesday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Frelick is returning to the lineup following a three-game absence due to left knee soreness. Frelick has been swinging a hot bat lately, so the Brewers are happy to avoid a stint on the injured list. The 25-year-old is slashing .333/.350/.556 with one home run and two RBI over the last two weeks. He'll bat leadoff and play right field versus right-hander Spencer Strider. Fantasy managers can safely get Frelick back into their lineups. |

Tue Aug 5 | 16:10 | Sal Frelick Available Off the Bench on Tuesday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's contest in Atlanta against the Braves, but he has responded well to treatment and is available off the bench at Truist Park, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Frelick is dealing with soreness in his left knee and will be missing his third straight start, although it sounds like he won't have to go on the injured list and could return as soon as Wednesday in Atlanta. The Brewers do have an off day coming on Thursday, though, so Milwaukee could play it safe and hold Frelick out until Friday. The 25-year-old former first-rounder is having a breakout year for the first-place Brewers, slashing .296/.353/.412 with a .765 OPS, eight home runs, 41 RBI, 49 runs and 17 stolen bases in 98 games. Frelick is mainly attractive in fantasy for his speed. |

Mon Aug 4 | 18:30 | Sal Frelick Remains Out on Monday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Frelick is set to miss his second straight game after exiting Saturday's game due to left knee soreness. The organization is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list, but they'll likely wait a few days to see how his knee responds. Brandon Lockridge will get another start in right field during Monday's game. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Tuesday for another update on his status. |

Sun Aug 3 | 12:20 | Sal Frelick Remains Out With Knee Injury |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) was pulled from the fourth inning of Saturday's win over the Washington Nationals due to a flare-up of soreness in his surgically-repaired left knee, and he will sit out of Sunday's series finale in D.C. Newly-acquired outfielder Brandon Lockridge will make the start in right field and will hit eighth against Nationals right-hander Brad Lord. It remains to be seen if Frelick can return for Monday's series opener against the Atlanta Braves, and this very well could turn into something that lands him on the injured list. The 25-year-old is much more valuable to the Brew Crew in real life than in fantasy, and Lockridge doesn't really move the fantasy needle, either, outside of some speed for those in deep NL-only leagues. Lockridge hit .216 (19-for-88) with no homers, five RBI and eight steals in 47 games for the Padres earlier this year. |

Sat Aug 2 | 18:16 | Sal Frelick Removed Early on Saturday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Frelick was pulled out of the game due to left knee soreness. Afterwards, the Brewers said that his removal from the contest was precautionary. The assumption is that Frelick will undergo further testing. For now, Frelick should be considered day-to-day. Before exiting, Frelick went 2-for-2 with a single and a double. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update. |

Sat Jul 26 | 16:19 | Sal Frelick Returns From 10-Day Injured List |
The Milwaukee Brewers have activated outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and optioned infielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville. Frelick is back after a short stay on the IL with a mild strain of his left hamstring. Before going on the IL on July 15, the 25-year-old slashed a career-best .294/.354/.404 with seven homers, 39 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases over 385 plate appearances. His injury opened up playing time for Blake Perkins, who went just 4-for-21 with 11 strikeouts in Frelick's absence. |

Fri Jul 25 | 16:05 | Sal Frelick Not Ready to Return on Friday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) did not return from the injured list on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Miami Marlins, according to Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports. Frelick will go through a full pre-game workout as a final step, so it sounds like he could be back on Saturday for Game 2 of the series. The 25-year-old has been out recently with a left-hamstring strain. When Frelick returns, he'll be coming back to a strong .294/.354/.404 slash line with a .758 OPS, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 46 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 344 at-bats this year. When he's ready to return, Frelick figures to see most of the playing time in right field for the Brew Crew, which could push Blake Perkins back to more of a bench role. Outside of his speed, Frelick doesn't offer a whole lot for fantasy managers. |

Tue Jul 22 | 19:47 | Sal Frelick Expects to be Back in Lineup on Friday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) expects to be back in the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Miami Marlins, but he has some tests to pass first, including on-field batting practice on Tuesday, per MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Frelick went on the 10-day injured list after injuring his left hamstring in the final game of the first half of the season, but it sounds like he's raring to go this weekend. As long as he gets through batting practice and a few other tests, he should come off the IL when he's eligible on Friday. The 25-year-old is useful for his speed in fantasy leagues -- he's already one steal shy of tying his career-high -- and he's also hitting a strong .294 (101-for-344) in 93 games in his third season with the Brew Crew. Frelick also has an xBA of .272 and limited power at the dish. |

Fri Jul 18 | 21:08 | Sal Frelick Lands on Injured List |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. Frelick suffered a hamstring injury while making a sliding catch during the final game before the All-Star break. The Brewers gave him a few days to rest and see how he feels. It doesn't sound like Frelick is doing much better, so he'll start the second half of the season on the shelf. In a corresponding move, outfielder Blake Perkins has been recalled to take the spot on the active roster. He figures to serve as a replacement in right field. It's unclear how long Frelick will be sidelined, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back until probably August. |

Wed Jul 16 | 16:05 | Sal Frelick Dealing With Grade 1 Hamstring Strain, TBD for Start of Second Half |
Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, and his status for Friday's series opener at Dodger Stadium against the Los Angeles Dodgers is to be determined, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. The Brewers will monitor Frelick's progress the next few days before deciding if he needs a stint on the injured list. The 25-year-old was injured in the last game of the first half of the season on Sunday and could be out another week or so if he's not ready to return to action this weekend in L.A. If Frelick lands on the IL, the Brewers could call up Blake Perkins from the minors to play some right field in Milwaukee. Frelick is having the best year of his career in his third big-league season, hitting .294/.354/.404 with a .758 OPS, seven home runs, 39 RBI, 46 runs and 17 stolen bases in 93 games played. |

Mon Jul 14 | 11:22 | Sal Frelick Undergoes MRI on Hamstring |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) underwent an MRI on his left hamstring after an 8-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Frelick had been dealing with soreness in his hamstring recently, and he had to leave the game in the third inning after aggravating it on a sliding catch. There's no word on the severity yet, but it helps that Frelick will have a few days to recover because of the All-Star break. The 25-year-old has been an important contributor on a playoff-contending Milwaukee club, having slashed a career-best .294/.354/.404 with seven homers, 39 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases in 385 plate appearances. |

Sun Jul 13 | 18:02 | Sal Frelick Exits Sunday with Hamstring Discomfort |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (hamstring) left the game in the third inning of his team's 8-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Frelick felt discomfort in his left hamstring, according to the team, and was replaced by Isaac Collins in right field. The 25-year-old Frelick is in the midst of his best big-league season, slashing .294/.354/.404 with seven home runs, 39 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 17 stolen bases. He doesn't make a ton of hard contact (26.9% hard-hit rate entering play on Sunday), but he's difficult to punch out (12.7% strikeout rate). Frelick will have the All-Star break to heal his hamstring, so he may be able to avoid missing games. His speed is a big part of his fantasy value, so nursing a bum hamstring could potentially impact his utility in the second half of the season. |

Fri May 9 | 17:36 | Sal Frelick Back In Brewers Lineup |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) is starting in right field and is hitting sixth in Friday's series opener in Tampa against the Rays and right-hander Zack Littell. Frelick will return to the field after missing the team's last three games due to inflammation in his left knee. The 25-year-old former 15th overall pick in 2021 out of Boston College has seven stolen bases and has hit .297 (35-for-118) in his first 35 games this season, but his counting stats for fantasy managers have left a lot to be desired. He's gone deep just once and added five doubles, two triples, nine RBI and 16 runs scored for the Brew Crew. Frelick has only one hit in eight at-bats so far in the month of May and will be going up against a pitcher in Littell on Friday that he has never faced. |

Wed May 7 | 17:51 | Brewers Expect Sal Frelick Back On Friday |
Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that he fully expects outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) to return to the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener on the road against the Tampa Bay Rays. Frelick ended up being held out of the entire series this week against the Houston Astros while dealing with inflammation in his left knee, but after another scheduled day off on Thursday for travel, the 25-year-old is expected to be good to go on Friday in Tampa. The former first-rounder (15th overall) in 2021 out of Boston College makes plenty of contact at the plate and is hitting a nice .297 (35-for-118), but he has a low fantasy floor and ceiling because of his lack of power and speed. Despite his strong average so far in 2025, Frelick has only produced one home run, nine RBI, 16 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 35 games played. |

Tue May 6 | 17:47 | Sal Frelick Targeting Return On Friday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) remains out of the lineup on Tuesday but is hoping to return to action on Friday. According to Jack Stern of the Brewer Fanatic, the outfielder is feeling better and was able to do some light jogging and even took swings in the batter's cage. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to their contest on Friday evening against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 25-year-old suffered this injury during their contest against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Through his first 35 games of the season, Frelich has enjoyed a strong start, holding a .297/.381/.398 slash line with five doubles, two triples, and seven stolen bases. While he remains sidelined, Jake Bauers should continue to see time in right field. |

Mon May 5 | 17:35 | Sal Frelick Out On Monday; MRI Results Encouraging |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros, but manager Pat Murphy said Frelick's MRI results were encouraging. "It should settle down in a day or two," Murphy said. Frelick injured his left knee and had to leave Sunday's game early against the Chicago Cubs, but it appears he will avoid a trip to the injured list for now. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues will want to check back to see if he's available to play in Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. With Frelick out on Monday, Jake Bauers will start in right field and will bat sixth against Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco. Although Frelick is hitting a strong .297 (35-for-118) in 35 games in 2025, he's lacking in counting stats with only one home run, nine RBI, seven steals and 16 runs scored in 135 plate appearances. He's not a great fantasy contributor. |

Sun May 4 | 16:29 | Sal Frelick Removed Early On Sunday |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) was taken out early during Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Frelick reportedly injured his left knee while taking a swing in the second inning. He remained in the game a little longer before being replaced by Daz Cameron. The expectation is that Cameron will undergo further imaging to determine the severity of the injury. Cameron would likely see increased playing time if this is something that puts Frelick on the injured list. |

Thu Apr 10 | 14:30 | Rhys Hoskins, Sal Frelick Sitting On Thursday |
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins and outfielder Sal Frelick are not in Thursday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Colorado Rockies. Fantasy managers should expect both Hoskins and Frelick to return to the lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday evening. Hoskins has tallied just two hits over his previous four games and will cede first base duties to Jake Bauers, who will bat sixth. Frelick is riding a six-game hitting streak and has enjoyed a very productive start to the campaign. With Frelick sitting out, Jackson Chourio will shift to right field, opening up left field for Christian Yelich. The Brewers are a great lineup to target in DFS competitions this afternoon as they will face Colorado right-handed pitcher Ryan Feltner. |

Mon Mar 24 | 13:24 | Sal Frelick Sidelined Again By Calf Injury |
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (calf) was out of the team's lineup again on Sunday due to calf soreness. The 24-year-old has been out of action since last Tuesday after experiencing mild calf soreness. Fortunately, Frelick is expected to play in the team's final spring training tune-up on Monday. It's good news for the former first-round pick, who is projected to hold down right field for the Brewers again. Frelick hit just two home runs a season ago in 145 games. However, he's been astounding this spring, garnering an impressive .359/.432/.538 triple-slash with eight RBI, four steals, and two long balls. Known for his hit tool in the minors, if the Gold-Glove-winning outfielder can increase his in-game power, he may significantly impact fantasy in 2025. |
