Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Saturday’s game after one inning as a precaution with an upper respiratory infection.
Freeman flew out to center in the bottom of the first in his only at-bat against Washington at Truist Park. The reigning National League MVP is hitting .296/.396/.506 with 24 homers and 63 RBIs this season.
The Braves led the Nationals 1-0 after two innings thanks to slugger Jorge Soler’s solo homer.
