A nagging wrist issue has Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman sidelined Thursday against visiting Washington.
Considering Freeman is dealing with a small bone spur in his wrist, this isn't a surprising development. With the Braves well out of the playoff contention, it's fair to question if Freeman will return to the starting lineup this season. Nick Swisher will get the start at first base once again and hit third in the batting order.
