Freese (back) is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Athletics, Mike DiGiovanna reports. Freese is out of the lineup for the second straight game due to a mid-back tightness. Even though Freese's injury does not appear to be anything too serious, there is no need to rush his return as the Angels have already guaranteed their playoff spot. He is considered day-to-day as Luis Jimenez gets the nod at third base.
