MLB News: The Milwaukee Brewers have called up their second ranked prospect in outfielder Sal Frelick. He was selected 15th overall in the 2021 draft and played well enough last season to which several promotions led him to playing at the Triple-A level.
A thumb injury requiring surgery slowed Sal Frelick down a bit earlier this season, but now the Brewers have elected to promote him to the big leagues. He is the organization’s second ranked prospect and should help improve the offensive production from their outfield group.
After the news was announced fans were stoked on social media. They also questioned whether or not the Brewers removed the correct player off the 40-man roster in order to make room for him as Raimel Tapia was designated for assignment.

FRELICK TIME! I liked Tapia, but he didn’t produce enough.
