Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-1 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers only managed four hits in total off Roansy Contreras and the Pittsburgh bullpen, and Freeman's eighth-inning blast was all that stood between the Bucs and a shutout. It's the fourth homer of the year for the first baseman, and Freeman sports a .289/.375/.464 slash line with nine RBI and 20 runs through 25 games -- somewhat disappointing numbers by his own lofty standards.

Freeman went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman extended his on-base streak to six games with a walk in the eighth inning, and he subsequently stole second. The theft was the first of the season for the veteran first baseman -- he was caught stealing in his only other attempt. Freeman tallied a career-high 13 steals last year, adding some extra juice to his reliable fantasy production in nearly every other offensive category.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in an 8-6 loss to the Mets on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman powered Los Angeles' offense one day after striking out four times against the Cubs. The star first baseman came into the contest on an uncharacteristic cold streak, as he was batting just .143 (4-for-28) with no extra-base hits and nine strikeouts over his previous seven games. Freeman emerged in a big way with a solo home run off David Peterson in the first inning and a game-tying two-run shot off Peterson in the fifth. He's slashing .328/.416/.522 through 77 plate appearances on the campaign, though he's knocked in just six runs including Monday's outburst.

Freeman went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI in a loss to Arizona on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman scored the Dodgers' first run after singling in the first inning, and he knocked in a run himself with a double in the sixth. The veteran first baseman has been very difficult to get out early this season, batting .429 through his initial 42 plate appearances. Over his past three games, Freeman has gone 7-for-13 with three doubles, a home run, four runs and two RBI.

Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run in Thursday's 5-2 victory versus Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman has reached base in all but one of the Dodgers' seven games this season, but prior to Thursday he had notched just one extra-base hit. The star first baseman changed that trajectory against Arizona, hitting a double in the third inning and his first homer of the year in the seventh. Freeman surprisingly has just one RBI on the campaign despite a standout .385/.500/.577 slash line.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs in Monday's 13-4 victory over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman was one of four Dodgers with multiple hits in the win, and he's racked up six base knocks over his past 10 at-bats. Freeman is hitting a robust .421 this season, though his fifth-inning double Monday is his only extra-base hit thus far. The star first baseman has also scored four runs over four games after tying for the NL lead with 117 runs scored last season.

Freeman is hitting second and playing first base Sunday in a Cactus League game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
A day after returning to the lineup as the designated hitter following a bit of hamstring tightness, Freeman is back on the field for the Dodgers on Sunday. The former MVP appears to be a full-go for the regular season and should once again be a fantasy stalwart in 2023.

Freeman went 2-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's spring game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman was removed after three plate appearances, but that was to be expected. It was the first game back for the first baseman after he left Tuesday's World Baseball Classic game for Team Canada with tightness in his hamstring. There's no reason to think that Freeman won't be ready for the regular season, and his next step should be playing in the field sometime soon.

Freeman (hamstring) is starting at designated hitter and batting second Saturday against the White Sox, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Freeman will make his return to the lineup after exiting Tuesday's World Baseball Classic game for Team Canada with hamstring tightness. It's good to see that this injury wasn't a strain. Freeman should be a full-go for the start of the regular season.

Freeman (hamstring) is expected to serve as the designated hitter in a Cactus League game Saturday and then play first base Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
That's tremendous news after Freeman tweaked his right hamstring Tuesday while representing Canada in the World Baseball Classic. It looks like that will turn out to be a minor blip for the star first baseman. He can remain penciled in for the Dodgers' starting lineup for Opening Day, which is exactly two weeks away.
