Freddie Freeman Could Make Spring Debut On Thursday
16 seconds agoLos Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Monday that first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) could make his Cactus League debut on Thursday. Freeman will get some at-bats in a minor-league game at camp on Monday, and if he comes out of that without any setbacks, he should be ready to go for Thursday. The 35-year-old left-handed slugger had surgery to remove loose bodies in his right ankle in December, which is why the Dodgers are bringing him along slowly early in spring training. Barring a setback with his ankle once he starts playing in Cactus League games, Freeman should be ready to roll for Opening Day in Tokyo, Japan, on March 18 against the Chicago Cubs. The eight-time All-Star and former MVP failed to put up 100 RBI for a third straight season in 2024, but he still hit .282 with 22 homers and 89 RBI and is the No. 2 fantasy first baseman at RotoBaller.
