Sal Frelick

Sal Frelick returned to the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup for the start of the playoffs and the Brewers added padding to the wall he crashed into, injuring himself.

Frelick will get the nod even after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left hip Friday. The 24-year-old will be closely monitored according to Brewers manager Pat Murphy, but all signs point to him being an option for Milwaukee as long as they're still in the postseason.

Frelick will get the nod even after being diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left hip Friday. The 24-year-old will be closely monitored according to Brewers manager Pat Murphy, but all signs point to him being an option for Milwaukee as long as they're still in the postseason. The full lineup for the Brewers against Luis Severino and the Mets: Brice Turang 2B, Jackson Chourio LF, William Contreras C, Garrett Mitchell CF, Willy Adames SS, Jake Bauers DH, Rhys Hoskins 1B, Frelick RF and Joey Ortiz at third base.

Frelick left Friday's game against the Mets -- the team the Brewers will be facing in the best-of-three series -- with a hip injury, but the 24-year-old told reporters Monday he expected to be ready for action. There's no lineup out just yet, but at the very least, Frelick is well enough to be on the roster.
