Freeman expected to miss 10 weeks with fractured wrist

The Atlanta Braves will be without their most valuable player for at least the next two months.

Freddie Freeman suffered a non-displaced left wrist fracture after being hit by a 94-mph fastball from Toronto Blue Jays reliever Aaron Loup during Wednesday's game and is expected to miss about 10 weeks, the team announced Thursday.

Freeman needs to wear a cast for four weeks, but is not expected to require surgery.

It's a major blow to the Braves, who have won five of their last six games. Freeman was hitting .341/.461/.748 with 14 home runs, 11 doubles, and 25 RBIs, and ranks third in the majors with 2.6 WAR behind Mike Trout and Bryce Harper.
