Freeman will be re-evaluated on Tuesday by the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_t88bwadoh\">The Dodgers superstar has been in and out of the lineup to start the season. Freeman did not play in either game of the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs because of left rib discomfort. The rib injury which he sustained last season appeared to bother Freeman while warming up, and he was scratched from the lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_6h1mpw5is\">Just a few weeks later, Freeman is now dealing with another injury and will not face his former team, the Atlanta Braves, on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_qzcyc5ovr\">While there are no details on the severity of Freeman&#8217;s &#8220;mishap,&#8221; the swelling of the re-injured right ankle does not bode well for the first baseman. Thankfully, the Dodgers have depth, which has certainly been tested in the early days of the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_233a34t2s\">The defending champions are 5-0 to start the season, but have already dealt with multiple missing starters for a majority of those games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_24il708yn\">The Dodgers will hope Freeman feels better on Tuesday, and doesn&#8217;t face a potential longer absence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mar 28, 2025;
