NL MVP Freddie Freeman won't report with the Atlanta Braves' position players on Tuesday following the birth of his twin sons.
Manager Brian Snitker said Monday he supports Freeman arriving later in the week.
Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, on Sunday used their Twitter accounts to announce the additions of twin sons by posting “Officially a family of five.” Their first son, Charlie, was born in 2016. The Freemans did not immediately reveal names of their twins.
Due to coronavirus protocols in place at all Major League Baseball spring training sites, including the Braves' facility in North Port, Fla.
