Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is expected to play in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts.
“Freddie’s fine. Freddie’s fine,” Roberts said after the Dodgers’ 8-0 Game 3 win. “I think we got through it. And my expectation is he’ll be in there tomorrow.”
Freeman has battled a high ankle sprain in his right foot since late September. It’s not an ideal situation, but Freeman has refused to let his injury prevent him from not helping his team.
When Freeman has had to exit the game, the Dodgers usually place Max Muncy at first and Kiké Hernández at third in his absence.
