Andrus has been out of the league since being released by the Diamondbacks this spring. The 36-year-old hit .269/.325/.370 with 102 homers and 347 steals in a 15-year career, most of which was spent with the Rangers. At one point, he seemed poised to take over for the retiring Miguel Cabrera as the active MLB leader in hits this year. However, Freddie Freeman made up a 94-hit deficit in 2023 to overtake him. As it turned out, Andrus, who finishes at 2,091 hits, was never active this year anyway.
Freeman went 2-for-3 with two two-run home runs and a sacrifice fly during Monday's 11-6 win over the Diamondbacks.
Freeman had a two-run homer off Eduardo Rodriguez in the first and later a two-run blast off Slade Cecconi in the eighth. He also picked up a sac fly in between. After four days off to help out with the hairline fracture in his right middle finger, Freeman has come through with four homers in his last four games. He's at 21 homers for the year, giving him 20 for the 11th time in his career. He finished with exactly 21 in 2011 and '22.
Freddie Freeman hit his second homer of the day, increasing the Los Angeles Dodgers' lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
