Freddie Freeman Starts Running Progression, To Make Spring Debut Next Week
35 seconds agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) has started a running progression, and the plan is for him to make his Cactus League debut next week, according to manager Dave Roberts. Freeman is taking it slow early in spring training after he had loose bodies removed from his right ankle last December. The 35-year-old veteran should be just fine for Opening Day on March 18 in Tokyo, Japan, against the Chicago Cubs, though. The fact that Freeman hit four homers in the World Series against the New York Yankees should give fantasy managers hope that he can pick up where he left off. Freeman has made the All-Star game six straight seasons and was the No. 4 first baseman in fantasy in 2024 despite the fact that his numbers regressed slightly from 2023. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 2 fantasy first baseman, behind only Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
