NL Central: Pirates place Freese on DL

Pittsburg has moved David Freese on the 10-day disabled list for a minor right hamstring strain. It’s a good think that the third baseman has the potential to come back in just a week, seeing as he has one of the best bats the Pirates have to offer. Slugging .321/.418/.536, he leads the team in slugging...by a whole lot. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery to our newest inspiration.
