Likely to hit third in 2021 Freeman said Tuesday that he's tentatively planning on opening the 2021 season as the Braves' No. 3 hitter, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Freeman started out last season in the three hole, but he ultimately moved into the No. 2 spot for his final 17 starts of the abbreviated campaign. The first baseman posted a monstrous 1.202 OPS as the No. 2 hitter compared to a .982 OPS batting third, but that difference can probably be chalked up to a small sample of plate appearances more than anything else. Whatever spot he occupies, Freeman should be an elite source of counting stats in a potent Braves lineup while also giving fantasy managers a solid foundation in both batting average and on-base percentage. Like many established stars around the league, Freeman is being eased into game action this spring, with his Grapefruit League debut coming Friday against the Twins, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com.

Robbed of oppo shot Monday Pache was denied a home run to right field in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox by an over-the-fence catch, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 22-year-old is considered the favorite to win the starting center field job this spring based on his exceptional defense, but Pache has shown signs of emerging as a useful offensive player as well. He hit 12 homers in 130 games in the high minors in 2019, offering a glimpse of his power potential, but the real key to his offensive development will be improvement in his ability to make consistent contact.

Clean inning in spring debut Edwards (forearm) struck out one over a 1-2-3 fourth inning Sunday in Atlanta's 9-7 win over the Rays in Grapefruit League play.
Impact After missing most of the 2020 campaign with a flexor mass strain in his right elbow, Edwards was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with Atlanta this winter. With a 3.54 ERA and 32.9 K% over 199 career appearances in the majors, Edwards has a more impressive track record than most relievers attending camps as non-roster invitees. If he can stay healthy this spring, Edwards will have a good shot at earning a spot in the Opening Day bullpen.
