Freddie Freeman's evening at the ballpark Wednesday turned into a night at a local hospital ... as his wife says the MLB star raced from Dodger Stadium to a nearby emergency room to be with their sick son.
Chelsea Freeman said in a post on her Instagram page just before Freddie and the Dodgers took on the Giants in L.A. that Maximus, the couple's youngest boy, needed a prayer after he had come down with what doctors believed was transient synovitis.
The ailment -- which causes extreme pain and discomfort in the hip -- was thought to have stemmed from a viral infection the 3-year-old contracted during the Freemans' trip to the All-Star Game in Texas earlier this month.
