Pirates' David Freese: Takes soft toss and BP

Freese (hand) took soft toss and batting practice Monday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Analysis:

Freese was going to be held out of the lineup for a fourth straight game, but Monday's game was postponed due to inclement weather, setting up a Tuesday doubleheader. Freese might be available Tuesday, as he said that his sore hand is feeling much better.
