Dodgers' Freddie Freeman Day-to-Day After Wrist Injury Against Brewers

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was hit in the left wrist by a pitch during the series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers, forcing him to leave the game. X-rays on Freeman's wrist came back negative, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts described his status as day-to-day, providing some relief given the team's ongoing injury challenges. Freeman, who earned the 2024 World Series MVP, has been a key offensive contributor this season, batting .292 with 10 home runs and 49 RBIs. The Dodgers, currently leading the National League West, will rely on backup catcher Dalton Rushing to fill in at first base if Freeman misses time. The injury adds to a list of absences including third baseman Max Muncy and several pitchers, underscoring the team's recent struggles and a current 10-loss slide over 12 games. Despite these setbacks, veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw continues to provide solid outings, though the team was swept in the series against Milwaukee.
