Sal Frelick Worth a Look on the Early-Season Waiver Wire?
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick opened his 2026 season with a bang on Opening Day in Thursday's win over the Chicago White Sox with a rare home run. Frelick also went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's 9-7 victory over the White Sox, and he could be worth a look off the early-season waiver wire in fantasy leagues for managers looking for a boost in counting stats with Jackson Chourio out with a fractured hand. The 25-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder should see more consistent playing time while Chourio is out in Milwaukee's outfield. In his two full MLB seasons, Frelick has offered limited fantasy upside, though, slashing a combined .274/.336/.372 with a .708 OPS, 14 home runs, 95 RBI, 142 runs scored, and 37 stolen bases in 287 total games. Frelick is mostly an asset for his speed and runs scored, and he's currently only rostered in 27% of Yahoo leagues.
