Wild Things’ Fregio is FL Pitcher of Week

For the second time, Washington rookie Dariel Fregio has been named the Frontier League’s Pitcher of the Week.

Fregio made his final start of the season Friday and tossed his initial complete game and shutout as a profesisonal as the Wild Things blanked Windy City, 7-0. Fregio allowed only three hits and struck out a career-high 10.

Travis Kelce hyperextended his knee during the Chiefs’ final practice before their opener against Detroit, leaving the status of the All-Pro tight end in question when Kansas City faces the Lions on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the injury occurred during their final full workout Tuesday but provided no other details. Players in the locker room said Kelce was hurt on a play in the red zone but was able to limp off the field on his own.

“We’ll just see how he does going forward,” Reid said.

Tests taken after practice showed that there was no ligament damage, a person familiar with the results told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the injury.
