The Los Angeles Dodgers designated infielder Cavan Biggio for assignment to clear space for Freddie Freeman's activation from the family emergency list.
Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic confirmed the news with a post on X on Monday afternoon.Biggio filled in as the team's primary first baseman while Freeman was tending to his youngest son, Maximus, who had been hospitalized since July 26. Freeman left the team while the Dodgers were in Houston for a three-game series against the Astros.Biggio, the son of Baseball Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, was just acquired by the Dodgers in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays on June 12. He slashed .192/.306/.
The move seemed inevitable for Biggio who has struggled to find consistency in the big leagues. He was DFA’d by the Blue Jays just before being traded to the Dodgers and his career batting average has dropped to .225. Prayers up to the Freeman family as Freddie’s son, Maximus, is now home & recovering after 8 days in the ICU 🙏Los Angeles is also expecting to get infielder Miguel Rojas back from the IL, which affects Biggio's playing time directly.from the St. Louis Cardinals in a surprising trade deadline move. He is expected to return from the IL at some point in August and will be joined by Mookie Betts and Max Muncy, hopefully.
Biggio hit three home runs and drove in 10 as a Dodger. He hit two home runs and drove in nine in 44 games with Toronto before the Blue Jays designated him for assignment.
