Freeman (finger) will start at first base and bat third Friday against the Diamondbacks, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
After missing the entirety of Los Angeles' previous series against the Orioles due to a hairline fracture in his right middle finger, Freeman is now willing to play through whatever lingering pain he may still have. His availability will depend on how much discomfort he's in on any given day, so there's a chance he sits down more often than usual during the final month of the year.
