Freese returned to the starting lineup Tuesday, batting third while playing third base against the Tigers.
Analysis:
Pittsburgh gave him his first day off Monday against Justin Verlander, though he did enter the game as a defensive replacement. Freese has hit seven singles in 26 at-bats, striking out 11 times while walking just once. He'll need to do more if he wants to see semi-steady time when Jung-Ho Kang (knee) returns.
