"It's almost time for Dodger baseball, but fans will have to wait a few more days to see one star. First baseman Freddie Freeman won't be part of Los Angeles' first spring training matchups this weekend. He's instead expecting to make his spring training debut on Tuesday, in the team's fourth Cactus League game against the Cleveland Guardians. Gearing up for a Full Regular Season Taking it slow in spring training is part of the plan for the 36-year-old Freeman."
"Freeman, who's played in at least 100 games every season except his rookie year of 2010 (excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 season), said his goal is to play all 162 regular season games in 2026. He's done it twice before when he was with the Atlanta Braves, though he's come awfully close a couple of times with the Boys in Blue. In 2022, he played in 159 regular-season games, and in 2023, he missed only a single regular season game, appearing in 161 contests."
Freddie Freeman will skip the Dodgers' first spring training matchups and is expected to make his Cactus League debut on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians. He plans to take it slow during spring training as part of preparation for a full regular season. Freeman's stated goal is to play all 162 regular-season games in 2026. He previously completed full seasons twice with the Atlanta Braves and nearly did so in 2022 and 2023 with Los Angeles. Freeman wants to finish his career as a Dodger and currently has two years remaining on a six-year, $162 million contract.
