Freddie Freeman Starts Swinging, Not Running
According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) has begun swinging a bat but has not started running following his ankle surgery. Freeman said that he would not participate in any Cactus League games to start but expects to be ready for their season-opening series in Tokyo. The 35-year-old underwent surgery to remove loose bodies in his right ankle earlier in the offseason. The reigning World Series MVP also noted he tore ligaments in October, but those have healed. Last season, Freeman had a down year to his standards as he held a .282/.378/.476 slash line with 22 home runs and nine stolen bases. He launched four home runs in the postseason, all during the World Series. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status but should view him as one of the top first basemen in drafts this offseason.
