David Freese

Pirates asking David Freese to take a seat on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman David Freese is not in the lineup on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Freese is getting a routine day off as Josh Harrison will cover the hot corner and bat second for Pittsburgh, while Alen Hanson will be at second base and bat seventh versus R.A. Dickey and the Atlanta Braves.

Harrison has been a reliable fantasy weapon this year, slashing .282/.349/.449 with a .345 wOBA, six homers, four stolen bases, and 18 runs scored in 176 plate appearances for the Pirates.
