Freese is out of the lineup Saturday against the Tigers.

Analysis:

Freese has started every game for the Angels since July 8, so manager Mike Scioscia likely decided it was time for a regular day off. John McDonald -- who replaced Freese in Friday night's game -- will man the hot corner in his stead. The team hasn't disclosed any information regarding a potential injury to Freese, making the absence slightly mysterious.
