Freddie Freeman among four Braves players to test positive for coronavirus

Four members of the Atlanta Braves -- Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Touki Toussaint and Pete Kozma -- have all tested positive for the coronavirus, manager Brian Snitker said Saturday.

Snitker said Freeman is still battling a fever, and it could be "a while" until he returns. Snitker that Smith and Toussaint have been asymptomatic.

Freeman, a four-time All-Star, batted .295 last season and set career highs with 38 homers and 121 RBIs. He had surgery in October to remove three loose bodies from his right elbow.
