Freese is back in the Pirates lineup Monday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freese is just 3-for-26 over an eight-game stretch, but Josh Harrison went just 1-for-12 in the club's last series at Cincinnati and hasn't done enough to unseat Freese for the time being. Expect Freese to hold on to the starting role going forward.
