Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Frelick will often start against left-handed pitchers, but he'll sit Sunday with veteran Patrick Corbin on the mound for Washington. The rookie outfielder is in the midst of a six-game hit streak and has gone 9-for-25 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs in that stretch. Blake Perkins (oblique) will start in center field in his return from the injured list.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: MRI returns clean
Rotowire
Frelick (hamstring) is still considered day-to-day after an MRI came back clean Wednesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Frelick sat out Wednesday's win over Minnesota and hasn't seen the field since Saturday due to soreness in his right hamstring, but the MRI results are encouraging for his outlook going forward. The Brewers have a scheduled day off Thursday, so the 23-year-old outfielder will have another day to rest up ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Padres.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Managing hamstring issue
Rotowire
Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers due to a right hamstring injury, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
Frelick apparently tweaked something during Saturday's contest and was replaced by a pinch hitter during the sixth inning after going 2-for-3. The Brewers have a team day off Monday, so the 23-year-old will have two full days to rest up ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Twins. Christian Yelich, Tyrone Taylor and Mark Canha are starting from left to right in the outfield Sunday for Milwaukee.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Swipes three bags in loss
Rotowire
Frelick went 1-for-2 with two walks and three stolen bases in a 1-0 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday.
Milwaukee struggled to generate offense against Lance Lynn and a pair of Los Angeles relievers, notching just five hits, all of which were singles. Frelick did his best to help get a run across the plate, reaching in three of his four plate appearances and swiping three bags after coming into the contest with just two steals over 23 games. The rookie got into scoring position three times, but he was stranded in each instance, including in the ninth inning when he walked and stole second with two outs as the potential tying run.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Returns to lineup Thursday
Rotowire
Frelick (leg) is back in the lineup Thursday versus the Pirates.
Frelick collided with the outfield wall Tuesday in Washington and was on the bench for Wednesday's series finale, but he suffered only a minor leg bruise and is good to go heading into the Brewers' four-game set against Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old will start in right field and bat fifth Thursday at American Family Field.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Sits against lefty
Rotowire
Frelick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
With lefty MacKenzie Gore on the hill for Washington, the lefty-hitting Frelick will head to the bench after starting in each of the Brewers' last six games. He went hitless in the last four of those contests, bringing his batting average down to .241 through his first 10 games with Milwaukee. Tyrone Taylor will check in for Frelick in right field.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Belts first big-league long ball
Rotowire
Frelick went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 3-2 win against the Reds.
After collecting four singles in six at-bats in his first two games in the majors, Frelick slugged a solo shot to right field in the sixth inning Monday for his first homer (and first extra-base hit). The 23-year-old also drew a walk in the contest, so he's reached base seven times in 12 plate appearances thus far. That pace is unsustainable, but Frelick is proving to be a dynamic addition to the Brewers' lineup and to fantasy squads that roster him.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
Frelick was my No. 1 prospect to stash coming into the season, and here he is getting the call in late July finally. So why am I not rushing to the waiver wire eager to throw fists of FAB bucks at him? The reason he was delayed for so long is because he had surgery to repair a torn thumb ligament, and he hasn't looked quite right since returning, batting .255 at the same level (Triple-A) where he hit .365 last year. Still, the Brewers thought the time was right, and he's 4 for 8 in the majors so far. All of the hits are singles, but that's his MO. It's a profile not unlike Steven Kwan's, which means a lot is riding on Frelick batting .300 and stealing bases at a good clip. Go ahead and take the plunge in five-outfielder leagues, but in three-outfielder leagues, wait and see.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Surging at Triple-A
Rotowire
Frelick has gone 8-for-17 (.471) with a home run, two doubles, eight RBI, two stolen bases and a 2:0 BB:K over his last four games with Triple-A Nashville.
Frelick was pretty quiet over the first half of July, but he's made all kinds of noise in recent days and racked up six RBI alone in Thursday's contest. His .683 OPS on the season does not stand out, but that can partly be attributed to a thumb injury, which he seems to have finally moved past. Frelick remains one of the better prospects in baseball, and the Brewers may give him a look in the big leagues before the season comes to a close.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Returns to lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Frelick (knee) is starting in center field and batting leadoff for Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.
The 23-year-old sat out the past couple days after he fouled a pitch off his right knee Thursday, but he's already been cleared to rejoin the starting nine. Frelick missed most of the first two months of the season with a torn UCL in his thumb, but he has a .314/.429/.486 slash line in 10 games for Nashville since he returned from the injured list June 14.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Avoids serious injury
Rotowire
Frelick checked out fine after tests on his knee, and while he is out of Friday's lineup for Triple-A Nashville, he should be considered merely day-to-day, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers had a scare when Frelick fouled a ball off his knee and had to exit Thursday's game, but a serious injury has been ruled out. The speedy outfielder is batting .308 with one home run and two steals in 26 at-bats since returning from a thumb injury.

Brewers' Sal Frelick: Exits Thursday with knee injury
Rotowire
Frelick fouled a ball off his right knee in the fifth inning during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader for Triple-A Nashville, walking off the field with a limp, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Given that he did not remain in the game, it's possible that the injury proves to be worse than just a bruise. Frelick had hit .308 with one home run and two steals in seven Triple-A games since returning from a thumb injury.
