"Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman revealed how he plans to ramp up for the regular season during spring training. The All-Star said he won't feature for L.A. until the fourth game of Cactus League play against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, and aims to reach 47 plate appearances by the end of spring training. Additionally, Freeman said he wants to play in all 162 regular season games. He has played in more than 100 games every season since 2011,"
"Since joining the Dodgers ahead of the 2022 season, Freeman has been one of their most productive offensive players. He has a .907 OPS as a Dodger, and has hit at least 20 home runs during each of his seasons in L.A. He's made the All-Star team and received MVP votes in all four of his seasons with the Dodgers, and has been an integral part to their postseason success over the past couple of seasons."
Freeman will delay his Dodgers spring debut until the fourth Cactus League game and targets 47 plate appearances by the end of spring training. He intends to play all 162 regular season games. Freeman began offseason workouts four days after the Dodgers' World Series parade and will not participate in the 2026 World Baseball Classic due to a personal matter. He has a .907 OPS as a Dodger, has hit at least 20 home runs each season in L.A., and has earned All-Star selections and MVP votes since joining in 2022. Manager Dave Roberts is weighing a lineup with Shohei Ohtani leading off, Mookie Betts third, Kyle Tucker likely second, and Freeman as the cleanup hitter.
