Georgetown's leading scorer Austin Freeman has been diagnosed with diabetes. Coach John Thompson III wouldn't say whether Freeman will be able to play in the regular season finale against Cincinnati or in the Big East tournament. Freeman disclosed his condition in an interview with The Washington Post. According to Freeman and Thompson III, the junior guard's long-term playing career should not be affected. Freeman is averaging 17 ppg for the No. 19 Hoyas, who have lost four of their last five.

A Big Relief
Cuban lefty Aroldis Chapman will make his exhibition debut in relief for the Cincinnati Reds Monday against the Kansas City Royals. The Reds landed Chapman with a six-year, $30.25 million deal in January. Manager Dusty Baker said he wants the 22-year-old Chapman to focus on getting hitters out. Chapman is competing to make a Reds' starting rotation that appears to have four spots solidified by Aaron Harang, Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey, all right-handers.
