Pirates' David Freese: In lineup for Game 1

Freese (hand) is in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Freese missed a fourth straight game Monday as he continued to nurse a sore hand, but he's back in the lineup at first base Tuesday. The Pirates will likely wait to see how the hand responds after the game before deciding whether or not to run him out for the nightcap.
