Atlanta Braves 1B Freddie Freeman has hit .171 (7-for-41), with a .569 OPS and .194 BABIP since the All-Star break.

Fantasy Tip: The BABIP is unsustainably low, but an 18.8 percent line drive rate will hinder any batting average. Test the trade waters to see if there is an impatient Freeman owner in your league. He is an elite bat in a minor funk who is due for a hot stretch.

Atlanta Braves 1B Freddie Freeman (thumb) bruised his left thumb during the game Sunday, March 16. He took a hard hit ball off his thumb while playing defense, but he said his exit from the game was precautionary. "It's precautionary," Freeman said. "It caught me clean on the hand. There's no point in trying to be a hero in spring training, especially when we're getting close to the end."

Fantasy Tip: Nothing to worry about here. Freeman should be just fine for opening day.
