Brewers' Sal Frelick Faces Indefinite Sideline Due to Hip Injury

An MRI reveals a significant bone bruise but no structural damage, leaving Frelick's playoff availability uncertain.

Sal Frelick sustained a left hip injury after colliding with an unpadded section of the wall during Friday's game against the Mets.
An MRI showed a significant bone bruise but no structural damage, though Frelick is currently unable to walk without assistance.
Frelick's defensive prowess is a key asset for the Brewers, with 16 defensive runs saved and 7 outs above average this season.
Manager Pat Murphy indicated that Frelick's return during the postseason is unlikely but not completely ruled out.
In Frelick's absence, Garrett Mitchell is expected to cover right field, with Jackson Chourio and Blake Perkins also in the outfield rotation.
