“He was either going to take today or tomorrow off, given that we have six in a row,” Roberts said. “Wasn’t going to play six in a row, so we just felt that today would be the best day and then we’ll run him for three against the Rockies.”
Freeman was activated from the injured list just hours before first pitch Friday.
