Dodgers' David Freese: To return next week

Freese (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the injured list sometime next week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

He has increased his running in workouts and should return before the All-Star break. The Dodgers have a homestand against the Diamondbacks and Padres next week. Once healthy, Freese should see action against left-handed pitchers.
