Sal Frelick Skips Team Italy After MRIs: “I Was Fully Committed”

After end-of-year MRIs showed he was “pretty banged up,” Frelick said he and Italy agreed it was smarter to take a full offseason of “lifting and rehab” so he’s ready for Opening Day with Milwaukee. “I was fully committed,” he added, but prioritized the Brewers. Frelick played 142 games in 2025, slashing .288/.351/.405 with 12 homers while managing knee issues.
