David Freese

David Freese returns to Pirates' lineup on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates third/first baseman David Freese is in the starting lineup for Thursday's road meeting with the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Josh Harrison got the start at the hot corner yesterday, but he will take a seat this afternoon as Freese returns to play third in Detroit. Facing righty Drew VerHagen, he will bat fifth on Thursday.

In 29 plate appearances, Freese is hitting .360/.448/.520 with 1 home run and 5 RBI so far in the month of August. At a price of $3,200 and carrying a projection of 8.6 points on FanDuel, he'll look to keep it rolling today.
