Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Playing first base Sunday
Freeman is hitting second and playing first base Sunday in a Cactus League game against the Athletics.
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.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Reaches three times in return
Freeman went 2-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's spring game against the White Sox.
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.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: In Saturday's lineup
Freeman (hamstring) is starting at designated hitter and batting second Saturday against the White Sox, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
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.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Could return at DH on Saturday
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.
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.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Hamstring injury mild
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that he is not concerned about Freeman (hamstring) being ready for Opening Day, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Freeman tweaked his right hamstring during Canada's win over Colombia on Tuesday in the World Baseball Classic and he returned to Dodgers camp Wednesday for an evaluation by the team's medical staff. The injury is mild, per Roberts, and there are no further tests planned. The expectation is the star first baseman will be able to get back into Cactus League play as early as this coming weekend, and he's slated to take swings in the batting cage Thursday.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Officially out of Canada lineup
Freeman (hamstring) won't play Wednesday for Team Canada in its World Baseball Classic matchup versus Team Mexico, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Canada manager Ernie Whitt also added that Freeman is "out of this tournament for now" because of the hamstring tightness which forced him from Tuesday's game against Colombia. Freeman has since returned to the Dodgers and is being evaluated by the training staff, but Whitt seemed to leave open the possibility that the first baseman could return to the lineup for Team Canada if it advances in the tournament, although that seems unlikely.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Getting checked for tight hamstring
Team Canada manager Ernie Whitt said Tuesday that Freeman is being evaluated for hamstring tightness, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Dodgers will certainly want to have a say in that evaluation. Freeman felt the hamstring tightness while taking a cut at a pitch in the third inning of Canada's eventual 5-2 win over Colombia on Tuesday afternoon in the World Baseball Classic. He is not expected to be in the lineup Wednesday against Mexico and could be done with the WBC entirely.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Unlikely to play against Mexico
Freeman (hamstring) is unlikely to play Wednesday against Team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Freeman was removed from the lineup Tuesday against Colombia because of tightness in his hamstring. The former MVP will likely miss the contest against Mexico, and very well could miss the rest of the World Baseball Classic out of an abundance of caution. There should be further updates on Freeman's status in the coming days.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Exits WBC game due to hamstring
Freeman was removed from Team Canada's game Tuesday against Team Colombia with a slight hamstring issue, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reports.
Freeman could be seen running gingerly to first base on a third-inning flyout and was promptly replaced in Canada's lineup by Denzel Clarke. It didn't seem to be anything overly serious -- he made it to first base and then into the dugout under his own power -- but this could very well end Freeman's run in the World Baseball Classic. Opening Day for the Dodgers is just over two weeks away.
