Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is back on the disabled list.

Freeman, who returned July 25 from a five-week stint on the DL because of a right wrist injury, suffered a right oblique strain in Monday's comeback win over the San Francisco Giants.

The team originally called it a day-to-day situation before placing Freeman on the DL on Tuesday.

In 76 games this season, 25-year-old Freeman is hitting .284 with 14 homers and 45 RBI. The two-time All-Star played in all 162 games last season and in at least 147 games in each of the four previous seasons.
