Los Angeles Dodgers infielder David Freese will take a career .291/.365/.546 slash line into Game 1 of the NLDS against the Nationals on Thursday. The veteran will enter the postseason swinging a sharp stick offensively as well, slashing .339/.379/.581 over his last 62 at-bats. Freese has enjoyed plenty of memorable postseason moments, and few will forget that the slugger posting 13 extra-base hits and 21 RBI through 18 playoff games with the Cardinals in 2011. Freese may not crack the lineup in...

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that corner infielder David Freese (hamstring) will come off the injured list on Sunday, Sept. 1. Outfielder Alex Verdugo (oblique) is still dealing with soreness and won't be activated the first week of September. Freese will return to a bench role for the final month. He doesn't have much appeal in redraft leagues, but he's useful against lefties when he starts in DFS. Verdugo is hitting a nice .294/.342/.475 with 12 home runs, 43 runs, 44 RBI ...

Los Angeles Dodgers corner infielder David Freese (hamstring) was running the bases on Thursday in advance of a Sept. 1 return. Freese has been out since July 24 but should be back with the Dodgers for the stretch run. He'll continue to be a utility player/pinch-hitter for a strong Dodgers club. When he's been in the lineup he's been successful, batting .300/.399/.579 with nine home runs and 27 RBI. Freese only has 140 at-bats on the year, though, so he's mainly useful in DFS contests when ...

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman David Freese (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. It's unclear how long Freese is going to be sidelined, so anyone who owns him should prepare to be without him for a few weeks. Tyler White has been added to the roster in a corresponding move. White will likely play against left-handed pitching.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock and first baseman David Freese are set to face live pitching Sunday as they both work their way back from injury. Pollock has been out since April 30 with an elbow infection while Freese has been sidelined for just a week with a hamstring strain. Freese likely won't need many reps before returning to the Dodgers roster as soon as this week, but Pollock will need more seasoning with rehab assignments and won't be back until after the All-Star Game. Ne[...]

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that third baseman/first baseman David Freese (hamstring) is expected to return next week before the All-Star break. Freese is mostly limited to NL-only leagues in year-long formats because of his limited playing time. He's much more useful in DFS as a notorious lefty killer. The 36-year-old is hitting .308/.407/.592 on the season with eight homers, 30 runs and 23 RBI in 120 at-bats. Against left-handers this year he's hitting .257 (18-for-70) with [...]

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman David Freese (hamstring) has yet to resume baseball activities, and he is still receiving just treatment for his left hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he is hopeful Freese will be back after the All-Star break, perhaps sooner. Fantasy owners will want to keep him reserved in all leagues until he can officially return and make his way through a full game or two without any setbacks before plugging him back into the active lineup.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed first baseman David Freese on the 10-day IL retroactive to June 21 with a left hamstring strain. The veteran is having a fine year in his part-time role batting .308 with eight homers and 23 RBI in 56 games getting the majority of starts against southpaws. He's surprisingly hitting right-handers much better to a .380 average but struggles to find everyday playing time with the left-handed heavy Dodgers lineup. The team recalled catcher [...]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed. I[...]

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that first baseman David Freese (knee) is dealing with some knee soreness and the team is being cautious with the 36-year-old. Freese wasn't in the lineup on Monday but was available off the bench. As a utility corner infielder for the Blue this year, Freese is hitting a nice .293/.412/.576 with six long balls, 24 runs and 19 RBI in 99 at-bats. He's mostly useful in NL-only and DFS leagues when he's facing a left-hander. Freese has always been known[...]
