Returns from IL Triple-A Nashville reinstated Frelick (thumb) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Frelich has been cleared to play for Nashville for the first time since April 18 after he recently wrapped up a productive three-game rehab stint in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, where he went 3-for-9 with two doubles and three walks. With Frelick having seemingly made a full recovery from left thumb surgery, he'll now turn his focus toward turning out a string of productive games at Nashville with the hope of earning his first big-league call-up at some point this summer.

Begins rehab in ACL Frelick (thumb) began a minor-league rehab assignment Friday with the Brewers' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate and has gone 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run...

Impact Frelick manned center field in both contests and now looks as though he'll need only a few more games in the lower levels of the minors before he's ready to return to action at Triple-A Nashville. Prior to spraining his left thumb and undergoing surgery in late April, Frelick appeared to be on the cusp of a promotion to the big leagues. If he can quickly regain form once he's back with Nashville, Frelick may not have to wait long for his first MLB call-up.

Two weeks from returning Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Saturday that Frelick (thumb) could return to games by the "third week of June," Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Frelick has been shelved since April 21 after undergoing surgery to repair the UCL in his left thumb. The 23-year-old prospect was slashing just .232/.317/.321 with Triple-A Nashville prior to going down with injury. However, a combination of injuries and poor performances in the Brewers' outfield could allow Frelick to make his MLB debut shortly after returning to Nashville.

Cleared for baseball activities Frelick (thumb) was recently cleared to resume light baseball activities, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Frelick was expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing surgery April 25 to repair the UCL in his left thumb, and that recovery timeline remains roughly intact. According to Brewers farm director Tom Flanagan, Frelick will likely take part in rehab games with Milwaukee's Arizona Complex League affiliate in early-to-mid June once he's deemed ready for action, but the outfielder should eventually settle back into an everyday role at Triple-A Nashville. Frelick will still have a chance at making his MLB debut later in the summer if he can hit the ground running once he returns to action for Nashville.

Undergoes surgery, out 6-8 weeks Frelick underwent UCL repair surgery on his left thumb Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports

Impact After spraining his thumb last week, Frelick's injury was initially believed to be relatively minor, but he is now expected to be out for up to eight weeks due to the surgery. The 23-year-old prospect was slashing .232/.317/.321 in Triple-A Nashville prior to getting injured, and he could be in line for a promotion when he returns now that Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) is likely out for the rest of the season.

Placed on minor-league IL Frelick was placed on the 7-day injured list Friday at Triple-A Nashville with a left thumb sprain, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Frelick was examined by the Brewers' medical staff Thursday after jamming his left thumb in a game at Nashville on Tuesday. "We don't think he has to be out for a long time," manager Craig Counsell told reporters Friday evening. The 23-year-old top outfield prospect remains on track to make his MLB debut at some point this summer.
