Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman had a great offensive performance in Monday's 11-6 win over the division-rival Diamondbacks. Freeman went 2-for-3 with a pair of two-run home runs, five RBI, and a walk. The 34-year-old took Eduardo Rodriguez deep in the third inning, sneaking the ball just over the left-field fence. His eighth-inning blast off Slade Cecconi was more definitive, landing 435 feet over the left-center wall. Freeman, who has been a top fantasy pick for some time now, hasn't been quite as good this season by his standards. However, he has produced plenty of fantasy value, slashing .288/.383/.498 with 21 HR, 74 runs scored, 83 RBI, and six stolen bases in 549 plate appearances.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) will be back in the starting lineup for the start of a huge series on Friday versus the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Freeman, who suffered a hairline fracture in his finger back on Aug. 17, has been held out of the last three games. It's no secret that the 34-year-old left-handed-hitting All-Star isn't 100% and might not be for the rest of the season. He's gone just 3-for-23 (.130) with two doubles, an RBI, two walks and seven strikeouts in six games since his injury, and it will be interesting to see how well he fares at the plate moving forward. If Freeman needs more rest days down the stretch, utility man Enrique Hernandez is the top option to replace him at the cold corner after doing so the last few days. Unless Freeman starts really struggling, fantasy managers should get him back in their lineups on Friday.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) is out of the starting lineup for a third straight game on Thursday in the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles at Dodger Stadium. Veteran utility man Enrique Hernandez will make another start at first and will hit sixth for the Blue against Orioles rookie left-hander Cade Povich. Freeman initially suffered a hairline fracture in his right middle finger on Aug. 17 but was playing through the injury before this week. In the six games that he's played in since the injury, though, he's gone 3-for-23 (.130) with two doubles, an RBI, two walks and seven strikeouts, so perhaps his finger is giving him more issues than initially expected. If Freeman ends up needing a stint on the injured list, Hernandez would soak up even more playing time in the final month of the regular season. Hernandez has hit just .218 in 303 at-bats in 2024 with nine homers and 33 RBI.UPDATE: Manager Dave Roberts said that Freeman will be back in the starting lineup for the start of a big series on Friday in Arizona against the Diamondbacks.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Enrique Hernandez will fill in at first base and will bat ninth against Orioles right-hander Corbin Burnes. Especially while residing down at the bottom of the order, Hernandez will be a poor DFS play for Wednesday's slate. He's also hitting .167 in six career at-bats against Burnes. The 34-year-old Freeman suffered a hairline fracture in his right middle finger on Aug. 17 but has played through it, although it could be giving him issues of late. In six games since fracturing his finger, Freeman has gone just 3-for-23 (.130) with two doubles, an RBI and seven strikeouts in 25 plate appearances. It's something to watch as we head toward the final month of the regular season in September.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 34-year-old is attempting to play through a fractured finger. However, Freeman is struggling with only three hits in his last six games. As a result, the Dodgers will give Freeman the night off to get rest and recover. Kike Hernandez will cover first base and bat eighth versus left-hander Cole Irvin. Hernandez has struggled with the bat this season, but his ability to play all over the field gives him value to this roster. He has three hits in his last two games, but Hernandez remains a risky streaming option for Tuesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) is in the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Seattle Mariners at Dodger Stadium despite suffering a hairline fracture in his right middle finger on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Freeman missed the series finale at Busch Stadium and was believed to need more time, but he's back in there after missing just one game. The 34-year-old surely isn't 100 percent and will be dealing with pain in his finger when he swings a bat, so it remains to be seen how effective he'll be at the plate moving forward. On top of it, Freeman has a tough matchup on Monday against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo, so DFS gamers would be wise to look elsewhere. In single-year fantasy formats, Freeman is a must-start while entering the contest with a .292/.391/.488 slash line with an .879 OPS, 17 homers, 72 RBI, six steals and 69 runs scored in 428 at-bats.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran slugger will take the day off after jamming his finger on his throwing hand during Saturday's contest. Manager Dave Roberts said Freeman will get a CT scan on his hand when the team heads back to Los Angeles. The team doesn't seem too concerned, but will get extra testing to determine the severity of the issue. For now, fantasy managers should consider Freeman as day-to-day. Kike Hernandez will cover first base and bat seventh versus right-hander Sonny Gray on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) underwent X-rays following Saturday's game. The former MVP left the game early after jamming his finger in the sixth inning, but thankfully, the X-rays came back negative, and the star first baseman is day-to-day going forward. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to the Dodger starting nine before their game on Sunday afternoon, as the 34-year-old may need a day off to fully recover. Freeman has been enjoying another fantastic season as he sits with an excellent .292/.391/.488 line with 29 doubles, 17 home runs, 72 RBI, and six stolen bases. He boasts an impressive 12.4% walk rate and other impressive metrics such as a .290 xBA and a .491 xSLG. If Freeman were to miss a short period of time, Kike Hernandez is likely to cover first base.

The Dodgers have yet to release an official lineup for Monday's contest against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola, but if Freeman is back with the team, he's likely to be back in the starting lineup. The 34-year-old's son was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome but has been released from the hospital. When Freeman does return to the starting lineup, fantasy managers will want to get him back in their lineups immediately. The eight-time All-Star is having another strong season in his third year in LA, slashing .288/.395/.493 with an .888 OPS, 16 home runs, 67 RBI, five stolen bases and 63 runs scored in 104 games played.UPDATE: The Dodgers activated Freeman from the emergency family leave list and designated infielder Cavan Biggio for assignment in a corresponding move.

He is slashing .288/.395/.493 with 16 home runs, 67 RBI, 63 runs, and five stolen bases over 456 plate appearances in 2024. Cavan Biggio will continue to handle first base duties while Freeman is out. Biggio is hitting .190 (4-for-21) with two home runs, five RBI, and 11 strikeouts over his last six games. The 29-year-old is mainly a streamer in deep leagues until Freeman returns to action.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that he doesn't anticipate first baseman Freddie Freeman returning off the family medical emergency list during the team's two-game series in San Diego this week against the division-rival Padres that concludes on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will want to check back later in the week to see if Freeman is back with the team for their weekend series against the Oakland Athletics. The 34-year-old went on the family emergency list on Saturday and could miss up to seven full days as he attends to much more important family issues. Cavan Biggio made the start again at first base in the series opener on Tuesday against San Diego and should continue to do so until Freeman returns. Freeman remains a must-start in all fantasy formats when active for the Blue, as he's slashing .288/.395/.493 with an .888 OPS, 16 homers, 67 RBI and 63 runs scored in 104 games in 2024.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after Friday's game against the hosting Houston Astros that he doesn't expect first baseman Freddie Freeman (personal) to be back during this series. No decision has been made yet on if there will be a roster move to put him on the family emergency list. Freeman was originally in the Dodgers' lineup and was set to make his 105th start of the season on Friday against the Astros, but he needed to head back to Los Angeles as his family tends to an emergency regarding their three-year-old son. There's no timetable for Freeman's return, but both sides understand that the 34-year-old infielder should be at home with his family during this difficult time. His next real chance to rejoin the team will likely come during Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival San Diego Padres. In the meantime, Kike Hernandez and Cavan Biggio figure to draw the starts at the cold corner, depending on the matchup.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. The veteran slugger has reportedly left the team to deal with a family issue. It's unclear how long Freeman is going to be gone while dealing with this problem. Cavan Biggio will take over at first base and bat seventh versus lefty Framber Valdez on Friday. Fantasy managers should get Freeman out of their lineups ahead of first pitch.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman provided all the offense for his team in a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Freeman went 1-for-4 with a grand slam to power LA to the win. The veteran first baseman's grand slam came off Boston reliever Brennan Bernardino in the eighth inning, erasing a 1-0 lead for the Red Sox. Freeman is having another excellent season, hitting .291 with 15 homers, 58 runs, 65 RBI, and five steals over 358 at-bats. He had been slumping over his past seven games, hitting just .154, so hopefully the grand slam on Friday will get his bat going again.

On the season, Freeman is now hitting .297 with nine homers, 41 RBI and three stolen bases. At age 34, Freeman has shown no issues of slowing down and hitting behind Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani may be the spot in any lineup in baseball.
