Sal Frelick

Player News

With Brice Turang struggling, Frelick was elevated to the leadoff spot tonight, even though Frelick himself was hitting just .206/.270/.294 in 40 plate appearances this month. Frelick came through nicely, though, busting things open in what turned into a five-run fifth inning for the Brewers. Frelick is batting .292/.355/.394 on the season, and he's a better option in mixed leagues while hitting in the leadoff spot.

Frelick cranked a 357-foot (103.8 mph EV) solo shot off of Hunter Greene in the fourth inning, increasing the Brewers' early lead to 2-0. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the ballgame though. It was also Frelick's lone hit in four at-bats. On the season, the 25-year-old outfielder is now hitting .295/.357/.410 with four homers, 21 RBI and 11 stolen bases.
