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.
