Fantasy Impact

Freeman is in the middle of a surging and resourceful lineup and has tremendous potential to have another MVP-type year.

The Braves confirmed that Freddie Freeman's wrist isn't fractured. He exited after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. He's considered day-to-day.

Fantasy Impact

Fantasy owners were likely having horrible flashbacks to last season when Freeman suffered a wrist injury that kept him out for an extended period and derailed his fantasy season. Fortunately, he avoided the same fate this year, and it looks like he could rejoin the Braves' lineup as soon as Thursday, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him get a night or two off after the scare.

Freddie Freeman left Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist, the same wrist that Freeman broke in 2017.

Fantasy Impact

Freeman may have just been removed for precautionary reasons in order to avoid further injury and get X-rays, but the fact that he left after being hit on the same wrist he broke in 2017 means that many will fear the worst until we have more information. The results of the X-rays should be available as early as Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts as his team lost to the Phillies 5-1 in 10 innings Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

The power hasn't quite been there for Freeman yet. He has just two homers in 16 games. However, opposing pitchers seem to be pitching around him. Freeman is second in all of baseball with 18 walks, and he's still hitting well with a .286 average. Put it all together and the all-star first baseman has a .967 OPS through mid-April. The power should come soon enough.
