Freddie Freeman is too far up the first base ranks.

FANTASY BASEBALL – Freddie Freeman Injury


BaseballFantasyMLB

Just days after Braves general manager John Hart said the first baseman may not be back until the first week of August, the club hinted Friday that Freeman could begin a rehab assignment as early as Sunday. Freeman hasn’t played since June 18 due to a right wrist sprain.

 

Despite the previously pessimistic report, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said a recent conversation left him and the organization feeling better about Freeman’s outlook.

 

“I took his conversation today as good, at least he’s making progress,” Gonzalez said. “He felt good, kind of turning a corner a little bit.”

 

Freeman received a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in his wrist on June 25 in hopes that it would speed up the healing process, but the wrist didn’t respond as hoped. Instead, Hart told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Freeman may need until early August to get healed and back on the field.

 

Even though that timetable has since accelerated, Freeman will still likely need a handful of rehab games to get back in the swing of things after a month off. Freeman was one of the offensive leaders for the Braves before the injury, batting .299/.367/.520 with 12 homers, 41 RBI and 43 runs scored through 66 games.

 

A return in late July — assuming his wrist doesn’t have another change of heart — now appears likely.
