The Los Angeles Dodgers currently have the best record in baseball, sitting undefeated at 5-0. While it has been a collective effort across the board, one of the biggest contributors has been Freddie Freeman , who has 2 home runs in just 3 games played. The Dodgers play Freeman’s former team, the Atlanta Braves , tonight at Dodger Stadium, and the first baseman is surprisingly not in the lineup.
Freddie Freeman Out Of Dodgers Lineup Vs Atlanta Braves Freeman missed the Tokyo Series due to a rib injury, but before opening day against the Detroit Tigers, it was reported that the World Series hero had no lingering issues and was 100%. In speaking with the media ahead of tonight’s tilt, manager Dave Roberts revealed that Freeman had a “mishap” entering the shower at home and tweaked the same surgically-repaired right ankle, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic . He is listed as day-to-day and the hope that the tweak is minor and this is more precautionary.
The full lineup for tonight’s game is as follows: Shohei Ohtani – DH Mookie Betts – SS Teoscar Hernández – RF Michael Conforto – LF Will Smith – C Tommy Edman – 2B Max Muncy 3B Enrique Hernández – 1B Andy Pages – CF Tyler Glasnow will make his season debut on the mound, and the first pitch is scheduled for 7:10 PM at Dodger Stadium. The Braves are currently 0-4 to start the season. This article first appeared on LAFB Network and was syndicated with permission.
