Fantasy Impact

The 23-year-old will be forced to miss extended time due to his thumb. He was hitting .232 with a .638 OPS, so he will have some work to do both in his recovery and on the field until we see him in the big leagues.

The Milwaukee Brewers have reassigned prospect Sal Frelick to minor-league camp.

Fantasy Impact

Frelick recently participated in the World Baseball Classic for Team Itlay and hit .304 with three doubles and a .768 OPS across 23 at-bats. The 22-year-old is on the cusp of making his MLB debut after he hit .365 with four homers, nine steals, and a .943 OPS across 46 games at Triple-A in 2022. He hasn't hit for a ton of power in the minors but has speed, plate discipline, and elite contact skills that should have him in the big leagues sooner than later.

Fantasy Impact

The Brewers have selected Boston College outfielder Sal Frelick with the 15th overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Frelick is a talented athlete who was a three-sport standout in high school. He looked really solid at Boston College, logging more walks than strikeouts between 2019 and 2020. He also possesses really impressive speed in addition to top-tier athleticism and elite defensive ability, which bodes well for his long-term projectability in center field.
