Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman recently returned to the lineup after taking a few days off to rest his injured finger. Despite a broken finger, Freeman is determined to continue playing and competing. He struggled in his first few games back, but hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat in Phoenix. This break allowed him to reset emotionally following a challenging month that included his son being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Although the Dodgers have faced disappointment in recent playoffs, they are determined to secure a division lead over their rivals, the Diamondbacks and Padres. Freeman plans to continue playing until his finger requires him to stop. The team hopes that by giving him some time off, he will be able to perform at his best during the upcoming postseason. Freeman’s return to the lineup provides a much-needed boost for the team as they face tough competition in the final stretch of the season.
