Freddie Freeman reaches four times versus Tigers

Freddie Freeman

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Player Stats

Freddie Freeman went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and three runs scored Sunday versus the Tigers.

Another nice game means more overtaking Hall of Famers on all-time lists for Freeman. His 579th double broke a tie with Wade Boggs, putting him in 24th place there. He overtook Ernie Banks and moved into a tie with Reggie Jackson for 89th on the hits list at 2,586, and he’s now in 64th place in times on base at 3,830, one more than David Ortiz.

Freddie Freeman went 2-for-2 with a three-run homer and three walks Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Freeman had been stuck on 15 homers since July 4 before hitting a ball 416 feet tonight. It was his 383rd career homer, moving him past Frank Howard, Ryan Howard and Jim Rice and into a tie with Larry Walker for 74th place all-time. The five times on base moved him past Lou Brock and Fred McGriff into 62nd place all-time at 3,836.

Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with a go-ahead single in the eighth as the Dodgers edged the Tigers 2-1 on Friday.

Both of Freeman’s hits were line drive singles, and he also walked once. His RBI tonight was the 1,384th of his career, moving him past Hall of Famer Joe Medwick and into a tie with should-be Hall of Famer Dwight Evans for 82nd on the all-time list. He’s 107 ahead of Paul Goldschmidt for the RBI lead among active major leaguers.

Freddie Freeman (hand, shoulder) was held out of the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s battle against the Brewers.

Freeman was banged up a bit as he fell into the Royals’ dugout while chasing a foul popup during Wednesday’s game. He returned to the lineup on Thursday but is still a bit sore so the Dodgers wanted to give him an extra night to rest. He’s considered day-to-day. Enrique Hernandez will start in his place at first base and will bat eighth against Brewers’ southpaw Robert Gasser.

The Dodgers are calling Freddie Freeman day-to-day after his fall into the Royals dugout during Wednesday’s game.

Freeman, who was hurt chasing after a foul popup, said he mostly fell on his left hand and shoulder, but he didn’t expect to need X-rays on anything and is hoping to be in the lineup Thursday.

Freddie Freeman was forced from Wednesday’s game with an injury after falling into the Royals dugout while trying to catch a foul ball.

Freeman stayed in initially after the scary incident, but he didn’t last long. Tommy Edman pinch-hit for him prior to his next at-bat.
Kyle Tucker

LAD Right Fielder #23

Kyle Tucker is in right field and hitting cleanup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is shaking things up by moving Freddie Freeman up to the second spot in the order with Andy Pages following and Tucker in the cleanup spot. Max Muncy and Mookie Betts remain in the middle of the lineup with Teoscar Hernández on the bench.

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Freddie Freeman (hand) returned to the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Diamondbacks.

Freeman was pulled from Wednesday’s game after being hit on the hand by a pitch, but X-rays came back negative and he was able to avoid any significant injuries. He’s right back in there at first base and batting third for the two-time defending World Champions on Friday evening in Arizona.

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said X-rays on Freddie Freeman’s right hand came back negative for any fractures.

Freeman isn’t completely out of the woods, but it sounds like early indications are that he managed to avoid serious injury after being hit by a pitch, which led to his removal from Wednesday’s game against the Cubs. The 36-year-old veteran should benefit from an off-day before the Dodgers kick off a three-game series against the division-rival Diamondbacks on Friday.

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Freddie Freeman made an early exit from Wednesday’s series finale against the Cubs.

Freeman was replaced by Enrique Hernández at first base with the Dodgers trailing by five runs entering the sixth inning. He was 1-for-3 at the dish prior to exiting. It feels like a workload management decision by Los Angeles to get the 36-year-old veteran off his feet in a one-sided affair, but he didn’t exactly look comfortable in his final at-bat. We’ll have updates on the situation as they unfold, especially if Freeman’s exit winds up being injury-related.

LAD 1st Baseman #5

Manager Dave Roberts has Freddie Freeman batting third in the NL’s All-Star lineup for Tuesday’s game.

The Dodgers are spaced out third, fifth and eighth in Roberts’ setup here. The lineup: DH Kyle Schwarber, LF Juan Soto, 1B Freeman, SS CJ Abrams, 3B Max Muncy, 2B Ozzie Albies, RF Brandon Marsh, CF Andy Pages and C Drake Baldwin.

A.J. Ewing is not in New York’s starting lineup on Friday against the Giants.

He’s sitting against LHP Tugboat Wilkinson. When the Mets lost Luis Robert Jr. on waivers the assumption was that Ewing’s playing time would be safe, but Nick Morabito is manning center field for the platoon advantage. Since the start of August, Ewing is hitting .168/.242/.212 with no homers and eight stolen bases.

Ezequiel Tovar is not in Colorado’s starting lineup against the Cardinals on Friday.

It appears to be a routine off-day for Tovar. Hopefully you dropped him early if you drafted him, as his .209/.256/.333 line has been extremely disappointing this year. Cole Carrigg will get the start at shortstop — it sure would help next year’s fantasy value for Carrigg if he could get enough starts at the position to be eligible next year, but that seems unlikely.

Michael Harris II is not in Atlanta’s starting lineup against the Phillies on Friday.

It’s a bit of a surprising move given the Phillies are trying to chase down the Braves in the NL East and Harris is hitting .351/.373/.684 with four homers and three stolen bases in his last 15 games. They are facing LHP Cristopher Sánchez and Harris is hitting .269/.306/.462 against left-handers this year, we guess. Lane Thomas will get the call in left field for the Braves with Mauricio Dubón shifting over to center.

Reds selected the contract of CF Carlos Jorge from Triple-A Louisville.

Perhaps the Reds will turn to Jorge down the stretch in center field, where the uninspiring Dane Myers/TJ Friedl platoon has mostly gone nowhere. The 22-year-old certainly has enough speed to be fantasy interesting if he gets a shot at extended playing time.
