First baseman Freddie Freeman and reliever
Touki Toussaint rejoined the Atlanta Braves on Friday after
being cleared from the coronavirus protocol.
The team shared a 26-second video on Twitter that showed Freeman
walking out of the clubhouse tunnel and Toussaint throwing in
the outfield at Truist Park.
"This is wonderful," Freeman said in the clip.
On July 4, the team said Freeman, Toussaint and two other
players had tested positive for COVID-19 before the start of
summer camp. Reliever Will Smith and shortstop Pete Kozma also
tested positive.
The virus hit Freeman "like a ton of bricks," his wife, Chelsea,
posted on Twitter at the time. She said the four-time All-Star's
symptoms included a high fever, body aches and headaches.
Freeman, 30, batted .295 last season while recording career
highs in homers (38) and RBIs (121).
Toussaint, 24, sported a 4-0 mark with a 5.62 ERA in 24
appearances last season with the Braves.
