Freese (hamstring) is back in the lineup Saturday, playing third base and hitting fifth.

Analysis:

He missed two games with a minor hamstring issue, but should return to seeing the bulk of the at-bats at third base. Kyle Kubitza, who is the organization's third baseman of the future, may get a couple starts per week if he is kept up in the majors, but Freese has probably done enough this season to still be treated like the starter.
