Freddie Freeman Absent From Sunday’s Lineup
3 years agoAtlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (illness) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. He exited Saturday's game against the Nationals due to an upper respiratory infection. The 31-year-old will get a breather Sunday and is considered day-to-day. His next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Austin Riley will shift from third to first while Ehire Adrianza replaces Freeman in the lineup and handle the hot corner on Sunday. Adrianza isn't a recommended streamer against left-hander Patrick Corbin as the 31-year-old is hitting .244 over 52 plate appearances against southpaws this season.
