Sal Frelick to the Injured List with a Muscle Injury
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick was placed on the injured list on Friday due to a hamstring strain, marking the start of the second half of the season. The injury occurred while making a sliding catch in the last game before the All-Star break, last Sunday. The move was retroactive to Tuesday. Frelick ran in the garden at Dodger Stadium after spending the break at his home in the Boston area, working with his personal trainer.The Brewers activated Blake Perkins from the 60-day injured list to take Frelick’s place on the roster.Knowing Sal, he’ll want to return as soon as possible, but we must be smart. He’s a really important part of our team. It’s hard to think about playing without him because he’s such an intricate part of our club.
