Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is currently sidelined with a right knee issue that forced him out of Wednesday's lineup against the Reds. Manager Dave Roberts stated the injury is not expected to require an injured list stint but has hindered the 36-year-old at the plate. Freeman recently struggled during a 1-for-18 slump, which Roberts attributed to the player being unable to properly utilize his front side while swinging. The team plans to exercise caution with his workload during the remainder of the regular season. Roberts left open the possibility that Freeman could return for the upcoming road trip starting Friday in Miami, or the team may provide him with up to three days of rest to ensure he is prepared for the September schedule.
