Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman made the first of what is expected to be three rehab appearances Friday at Triple-A Gwinnett, as he continues to recover from a right oblique strain.
Freeman went 0 for 3, with a walk, a run scored and three strikeouts while serving as a designated hitter. Freeman will play in the field Saturday and Sunday and is expected to be activated in time for Monday's series beginning in Colorado, according to MLB.com.
