“It’s not my wrist.” That was the message two-time All-Star first baseman gave reporters Saturday, one day after he created a scare with an early exit against the Phillies.
A checked swing caused discomfort on his right hand between his thumb and index finger, and as a precautionary measure, Freeman left the game. The initial thought was that he may have re-aggravated the injury that plagued him from mid-June on last season, but he alleviated some concerns as the latest issue proved to be short-lived.
“I knew right away that it was the top of my hand and everything was good,” Freeman told reporters.
