Dodgers Recall Hunter Feduccia, Freddie Freeman Injured

The Los Angeles Dodgers have recalled catcher Hunter Feduccia from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the roster spot of injured first baseman Freddie Freeman, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right ankle. Freeman's injury occurred after he slipped in the shower, adding to his recent challenges this season, which included missing games due to rib discomfort. Although Feduccia is expected to serve as the team's third catcher behind Will Smith and Austin Barnes, he has shown promise with a strong performance in the minors, batting .357 with a home run and four RBIs in his last five games. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed hope that Freeman could return for the team's series against the Chicago Cubs on April 11. Freeman reported feeling better after treatment but remains cautious due to his previous ankle surgery. The Dodgers aim to navigate Freeman's absence while relying on Feduccia's depth and experience from previous call-ups.
