Freddie Freeman said Wednesday that he doesn't expect to miss the Los Angeles Dodgers' season opener with a hamstring injury that kept him out of Team Canada's final game of the World Baseball Classic.
Freeman was forced to exit Canada's game against Colombia in the fourth inning Tuesday after feeling tightness in the hamstring during an at-bat in the previous inning. Initial tests came back OK. Freeman is not expected to need a follow-up MRI, and he said he could be back in the batting cage Thursday.
"We expect him to be in a game sooner rather than later," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters.
