Freeman played first base in the game as well, and he'll play the field again on Sunday. Assuming he doesn't suffer a setback, he should be inserted into fantasy lineups first thing Monday.

Freddie Freeman will consider having Lasik eye surgery performed during the offseason.

The 23-year-old first baseman struggled this season with his contacts, and could never get to the point where his vision was comfortable on a daily basis.
