Freddie Freeman Back in Friday's Lineup
Freddie Freeman (neck) is back at first base and is batting third for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Freeman did not play in Wednesday's series finale against the Cincinnati Reds due to a neck stinger, but he's back on the field on Friday after a scheduled off day on Thursday. The 35-year-old veteran will return to face a familiar foe in Gallen, who he has hit .273 against with an .897 OPS, two home runs and six RBI in 22 career at-bats. The nine-time All-Star and former MVP should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups to begin the holiday weekend. Freeman is hitting a league-best .302 (136-for-451) on the season and has been even better in August, going 29-for-91 (.319) with seven long balls, seven doubles, 19 RBI and even two steals in 24 games.
