Freddie Freeman

Freeman tested positive for COVID-19 at the outset of renewed camp and has reportedly dealt with some difficult symptoms. It seems unlikely that he'll be able to begin the year with the Braves, though he is apparently on the road to recovery. When healthy, Freeman is a dynamic option, so long as he has recovered from the elbow soreness that plagued him in spring. Don't let Freeman slip too far, but he's out of the second round for now.

Freddie Freeman (COVID-19) reportedly doing 'much better'

David O'Brien of The Athletic heard from someone close to Freddie Freeman that the star first baseman is "doing much better."

Freeman tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and dealt with some severe symptoms, including "body aches, headaches, chills and a high fever" according to his wife. The Atlanta slugger remains without a timetable to rejoin team workouts, however. At this rate it would be a surprise if he's ready for Opening Day on July 24th.
