(WQOW) – The Milwaukee Brewers started the second half of the season without leadoff hitter Sal Frelick, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.
The move was retroactive to Tuesday as the right fielder nurses a minor hamstring strain that came while making a sliding catch on Sunday.

Sal Frelick looked banged up on his stolen base in the second inning. Now he’s getting a visit from the athletic trainer after this slick catch in the third.
And he’s coming out of the game. A disappointing development to end the first half for the Brewers’ leading hitter. pic.twitter.com/pgPNSnS2DL

The Brewers gave Frelick a few days to see how he felt coming out of the All-Star break, but the 25-year-old will miss another week.
Blake Perkins was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
