(AP Photo/Aaron Gash) MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee right fielder Sal Frelick left Sunday's game against Washington after making a terrific catch in foul territory in the third inning. Frelick, a Gold Glove winner last year, made a sliding grab on Jacob Young's sinking flyball. He stayed down briefly before walking off with a trainer. Advertisement The Brewers said Frelick experienced some left hamstring soreness. He was replaced by Isaac Collins. The 25-year-old Frelick, a first-round pick in the 2021 amateur draft, hit an RBI single in Milwaukee's three-run second. He also made a leaping catch on Daylen Lile's drive to right in the second. Frelick is batting .294 with a career-high seven homers and 39 RBIs in 93 games this season. He also has 17 steals. ___ AP baseball:

(AP Photo/Aaron Gash, File) The new agency in charge of regulating name, image, likeness deals in college sports sent a letter to schools Thursday saying it had rejected deals between players and donor-backed collectives formed over the past several years to funnel money to athletes or their schools. Those arrangements hold no 'valid business purpose,' the memo said, and don't adhere to rules that call for outside NIL deals to be between players and companies that provide goods or services to the general public for profit. Advertisement The letter to Division I athletic directors could be the next step in shuttering today's version of the collective, groups that are closely affiliated with schools and that, in the early days of NIL after July 2021, proved the most efficient way for schools to indirectly cut deals with players. Since then, the landscape has changed yet again with the $2.8 billion House settlement that allows schools to pay the players directly as of July 1. Already, collectives affiliated with Colorado, Alabama, Notre Dame, Georgia and others have announced they're shutting down. Georgia, Ohio State and Illinois are among those that have announced plans with Learfield, a media and technology company with decades of licensing and other experience across college athletics, to help arrange NIL deals. Outside deals between athlete and sponsor are still permitted, but any worth $600 or more have to be vetted by a clearinghouse called NIL Go that was established by the new College Sports Commission. Advertisement In its letter to the ADs, the CSC said more than 1,500 deals have been cleared since NIL Go launched on June 11, 'ranging in value from three figures to seven figures.' More than 12,000 athletes and 1,100 institutional users have registered to use the system. But the bulk of the letter explained that many deals could not be cleared because they did not conform to an NCAA rule that sets a 'valid business purpose' standard for deals to be approved. The letter explained that if a collective reaches a deal with an athlete to appear on behalf of the collective, which charges an admission fee, the standard is not met because the purpose of the event is to raise money to pay athletes, not to provide goods or services available to the general public for profit. The same would apply to a deal an athlete makes to sell merchandise to raise money to pay that player because the purpose of 'selling merchandise is to raise money to pay that student-athlete and potentially other student-athletes at a particular school or schools, which is not a valid business purpose' according to the NCAA rule. Advertisement A deal, however, could be approved if, for instance, the businesses paying the players had a broader purpose than simply acting as a collective. The letter uses a golf course or apparel company as examples. 'In other words, NIL collectives may act as marketing agencies that match student-athletes with businesses that have a valid business purpose and seek to use the student's NIL to promote their businesses," the letter said. ___ AP college sports:
