Atlanta Braves: Freddie Freeman in Lineup Monday against Phillies

Freddie Freeman struck terror into the hearts of Atlanta Braves' country with the recent news that his elbow was inflamed. He had surgery four months ago to remove two bone spurs and loose bodies from his elbow.

Freeman is set to bat third in the lineup against the Phillies at 6:05 p.m on Monday night.

Inflamed Freddie

It was nearly a week ago when Freeman was scratched from last Tuesday's lineup against the Minnesota Twins. Braves fans felt a tomahawk to their hearts as the first indication was elbow injury.

Luckily, the injury was inflammation and the doctor's orders were to rest.
