Freeman went yard for the second time in three games, this time taking Nathan Eovaldi deep for a two-run blast to put the Dodgers on the board in the fourth inning. The 35-year-old first baseman looks no worse for wear despite battling through ankle issues, hitting .297/.381/.703 with four homers and eight RBI across 42 plate appearances.

Freeman is back after sitting out Sunday night’s series finale against the Cubs. The Dodgers are going to carefully manage the 35-year-old veteran’s workload over the next few weeks as he works his way back from a sprain in his surgically-repaired right ankle.

It’s doesn’t come as a total surprise to see the Dodgers giving Freeman a break after playing two straight games at first base in his return from the injured list. He’s gone 1-for-6 with three strikeouts during that span. It’s not uncommon for a player that skips a minor league rehab assignment to need a couple games to get their timing back at the dish. It’ll be Enrique Hernández handling the cold corner on Sunday night at Dodger Stadium.
