Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was held out of Tuesday's spring training game against the Minnesota Twins due to an elbow injury.
Per MLB.com's Mark Bowman, Freeman was scratched from the lineup as a precaution due to inflammation in his right elbow.
"We're trying to nip it in the bud. He's been throwing balls and doing things," Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters about his star first baseman. "It's better that it's in February than the end of March."
Freeman had arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow in October to remove three fragmented loose bodies and clean up multiple bone spur formations.
