Pirates' David Freese: Contributes from hot corner Monday

Freese went 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored Monday against the Braves.

Analysis:

He played third base with Pittsburgh, giving Jung-Ho Kang a night off. Because Atlanta is throwing righty Aaron Blair on Tuesday, look for Freese to return to the bench. Kang will likely get the nod at third and John Jaso at first. Freese has looked good in his two starts at first base, though Kang's return has cut into his overall playing time.
