Freese is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Analysis:

Sean Rodriguez will get the start at the hot corner Sunday in place of Freese with the Pirates facing Tim Adleman. Being out of the lineup Sunday may have more to do with the fact that Freese has played in each game this past week, versus one start for Rodriguez, than it has to do with the matchup. Regardless, Freese figures to rejoin the lineup Monday against the Cubs.
