Freeman returns to lineup for opener with Phillies

Well, Freddie Freeman’s back. Not that there was too much doubt.

As for the Phillies, well, they got healthy just in time for this game.

Harper’s been destroying the ball so far this season with the highest xwOBA in baseball, and he’s back from a wrist issue that kept him out of the lineup for a bit. Segura is back from a quad issue that caused him to miss about half of the season-to-date, and was also hitting pretty well before he went down. That makes tonight somewhat of a tougher test for Charlie Morton, and the Braves might have their hands full with Zach Eflin.
