Brewers Finalize Roster for NL Wild Card Series

The Milwaukee Brewers have finalized their playoff roster for the National League Wild Card Series against the New York Mets, including outfielder Sal Frelick, who has recovered from a severe hip injury sustained last week. Frelick, who contributed significantly during the regular season with a .259 batting average and 32 RBIs, is expected to bolster the team's depth, especially in light of star Christian Yelich's absence due to back surgery. Despite concerns regarding his health, Frelick feels fit to play, and manager Pat Murphy confirmed he would not be limited. Conversely, Bryan Hudson and Hoby Milner were left off the roster, primarily due to the Mets' right-handed lineup rather than performance issues. As the series kicks off, the Brewers are seeking to break a playoff series drought that has lasted since 2017. Additionally, the Brewers have signed reliever Vinny Nittoli to a minor league contract for the upcoming season, adding depth to their pitching staff.
