Frelick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Frelick will take a seat for the second game in a row, this time against a left-handed pitcher (Brandon Williamson) after he had been excluded from the lineup Saturday versus right-handed opening pitcher Fernando Cruz. The outfielder fouled a ball off his shin Wednesday against the Giants, and though he returned to the lineup two days later and played both ends of a doubleheader with the Reds, Brewers manager Pat Murphy may just have wanted to exercise some extra caution with Frelick by giving him two straight days off. September call-up Brewer HIcklen will step in for Frelick as the Brewers' starter in right field Sunday.
