Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) is in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Yankees.

Joe Mixon Currently in Walking Boot

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (foot) did not participate in voluntary OTA workouts on Friday. Mixon is currently in a walking boot, but it's reportedly not a serious injury.
