Sal Frelick Being Promoted To The Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder and top prospect Sal Frelick is being promoted, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. A corresponding move is not yet known but this is an exciting time for the Brewers and fantasy managers that have stashed Frelick this season. He's a consensus top-35 prospect and should make an immediate impact with his contact skills and speed. Frelick underwent thumb surgery back in April, which sidelined him for a few months and has likely put a damper on his counting stats. The 23-year-old is slashing .252/.344/.353 with two home runs, 19 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 195 plate appearances across two minor league levels this year. He's worth rostering if he's available in any 12-team mixed leagues.
