Freddie Freeman Scheduled To DH On Thursday
1 month agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut as the designated hitter on Thursday against the division-rival Colorado Rockies, according to the Los Angeles Times' Jack Harris. The Dodgers have eased Freeman into the early portion of spring training after he had surgery in December to remove loose bodies from his right ankle. The 35-year-old veteran left-handed hitter should be good to go by Opening Day in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18 versus the Chicago Cubs. Although Freeman is getting up there in age, he still ranks as RotoBaller's No. 2 fantasy first baseman in 2025 and is projected to hit third in the Dodgers' lineup behind MVP Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts. His ankle injury slowed him down early in the postseason, but the fact that he hit four long balls in the World Series against the Yankees should have fantasy managers unconcerned heading into this season.
