5 years agoAtlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) said he's been working out "full bore" since last month without pain for the first time in nine years after having two bone spurs and three fragments removed from his elbow. The doctor that operated on Freeman told him his joint was completely closed, and he was surprised he was able to play through the injury. You wouldn't have been able to tell based on what Freeman was able to do with the bat in 2019, as he hit .295/.389/.549 with 38 home runs, 113 runs, 121 RBI and six stolen bases in 597 at-bats. With better health, it's scary to think what Freeman could do in 2020 and beyond as one of the most consistent fantasy first baseman across the board.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (rib, ankle) is not in the lineup for Game 2 of the Tokyo, Japan series against the Chicago Cubs. Freeman was a late scratch on Tuesday due to rib discomfort and will miss his second straight game. According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Freeman feels much better than he did on Tuesday, but the Dodgers are being cautious with their star first baseman early on. The 35-year-old had rib discomfort on Tuesday in the same spot he tore rib cartilage during the postseason. Freeman remains day-to-day, but the Dodgers are optimistic he will return to the lineup on March 27 against the Detroit Tigers. Kike Hernandez will handle first base duties and is batting sixth in Wednesday's contest versus the Cubs.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (rib) was scratched ahead of Tuesday morning's season-opening win against the Cubs. The team described the injury as "rib discomfort," and after the game, Freeman said that the injury is in the same place as the injury he dealt with at the end of last year. He added that the injury is not nearly as severe and that he wanted to play through the issue, but the team chose to be cautious. While a recurrence of the issue is definitely a cause for concern, he said he was told he has a 75% chance of playing on Wednesday when the Dodgers face Justin Steele to close out the two-game set in Tokyo against the Cubs. The team will then have about a week off before opening the rest of their regular season with a home game against the Tigers. If Freeman is out again Wednesday, Kike Hernandez could get another start at first as he did on Tuesday.--Zach Thompson - RotoBaller

2 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle, rib) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the Tokyo, Japan series. Freeman was initially in the starting lineup at the three-hole but was scratched a half-hour before game time. He had surgery to remove loose bodies from his right ankle last December. The 35-year-old appeared to be ready for Opening Day after hitting .280 (7-for-25) with three home runs, six RBI, and three runs in spring training. For DFS purposes, fantasy managers need to remove Freeman from their lineup. His next chance to return will be Game 2 of the Tokyo Series against the Cubs on Wednesday. Kike Hernandez shifts from left field to first base while Michael Conforto enters the lineup as the Dodgers starting left fielder. Conforto hit .269 (7-for-26) with a home run and three RBI this spring. Update: Freeman was scratched from Tuesday's game versus the Cubs with left rib discomfort and is considered day-to-day.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller

4 weeks agoLos Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) will cover first base and bat third during their contest against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. This is Freeman's first game playing the field during spring training. During his first taste of spring training, the reigning World Series MVP has exclusively been deployed as a designated hitter. Freeman underwent offseason ankle surgery to remove loose bodies from his ankle. However, seeing him make his defensive debut early in camp suggests he should not face many limitations during the regular season. The 35-year-old is expected to typically bat in the three-hole behind Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, which will provide him an elite total of counting stats. Last season, Freeman held a strong .278/.378/.476 slash line with 22 home runs. He should be viewed as a top first baseman in all formats while batting in the heart of one of the top lineups in the sport.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
