Although he didn’t allow any runs, his lowered velocity raised alarms, leading to him being substituted as a precautionary measure due to tricep tightness. Thankfully, it has been confirmed that his elbow is not affected. The coaching staff and fans alike are hopeful for a speedy recovery.
Freddie Freeman Delivers in the Clutch
