Brewers manager Pat Murphy said in an interview Wednesday with 97.3 The Game Milwaukee that Frelick will start in center field versus right-handers while Garrett Mitchell (finger) opens the season on the injured list.
Frelick had been in line to see ample playing time at third base versus righties, but he's needed more now in the outfield. It's possible Frelick could still play some third base eventually, but fantasy managers might now have to wait a while for him to pick up eligibility at that position. Joey Ortiz likely profiles as the favorite for starts at third base to begin the season.
