Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick exited Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals in the fourth inning due to left side tightness. The incident occurred after he grounded out in the top of the inning. The team announced he was removed for precautionary reasons and is considered day-to-day.
Frelick, a key part of the Brewers' lineup, was replaced by Blake Perkins. The Brewers went on to win the game 6-5, securing a series victory over the Royals. Manager Pat Murphy stated post-game that the team is hopeful the injury is minor but will evaluate Frelick further.
This marks a concern for the Brewers as they navigate the early part of the 2026 season. Frelick has been a consistent performer, and his absence could impact the team's outfield depth. The club has not indicated a need for a roster move at this time.
