Pirates' David Freese: Figures to start Wednesday
Freese could start Wednesday against starter James Paxton, against whom he's batting .294 (5-for-17) with a double and two home runs.
Analysis:
He only has five hits in his last 36 at-bats but is still slashing .279/.358/.449 in 283 at-bats this season. Freese will become a free agent following the season, so there's a small chance he could be on the move if the Pirates become sellers at the trade deadline.
