Freddie Freeman News: Getting afternoon off
Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Freeman had gone just 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts in six straight starts before getting back on track Saturday, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances and slugging his first home run since May 11. After the big performance, Freeman will be given a breather, affording Enrique Hernandez the chance to make a start at first base.
