Freddie Freeman was scratched from the Los Angeles Dodgers starting lineup on Friday so he could travel to Los Angeles to be with his family.
In his absence, Cavan Biggio started at first base. During his pregame availability Saturday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Kiké Hernández could get time at first too.
According to an Instagram post on Thursday from Freeman’s wife, Chelsea, their 3-year-old son, Maximus, has been in the hospital this week. Freeman was spotted sprinting out of the clubhouse on Tuesday after the game and on Wednesday, the couple spent the night in the hospital before being discharged around 3:30 a.
