Last month, a bit of a concerning report came out when Freddie Freeman admitted to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that his wrist was only at “80-85 percent.” The concerns were further compounded when Freeman also admitted that his doctor told him that he’d probably need a full offseason to recover from the wrist fracture he suffered earlier this season. Here’s the money quote from the AJC:
And it almost certainly won’t until he has time to rest it for an extended period this winter, much like the right-wrist injury that caused him to miss 44 games in 2015 and wasn’t right again until after an extended rest period after that season.
