MILWAUKEE — Sal Frelick returned to the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup for the start of the playoffs without needing to worry about hitting any metal if he crashed into a wall again. Frelick bruised his hip Friday when his left side made contact with the metal chain link inside a window in American Family Field's right-field sidewall that had no protective padding. That area of the wall had padding Tuesday as the Brewers started their NL Wild Card Series with the New York Mets.
