BRAVES NEWS

Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has been one of baseball’s best players in the second half of 2016, and on Monday he was rewarded with NL Player of the Week honors for the third time this season. Freeman batted .500 with two home runs and seven RBIs in six games last week, adding to what has been a highly productive season for the 27-year old.

Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com writes that the Atlanta Braves combination of talented pitching and newly-acquired infielder Kevin Maitan are enough to make the Braves’ instructional league roster an intriguing group.
