Dodgers' Freddie Freeman battling knee injury ahead of postseason

Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers is dealing with a right knee injury as the team approaches the postseason. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed Freeman has patellar tendonitis, and his recent performance reflects the injury, going 0-for-4 in consecutive games. The Dodgers' playoff aspirations could be affected, particularly with Shohei Ohtani already on the injured list. Freeman's importance as a consistent contributor is underscored by the team's current standing, with the Atlanta Braves closely trailing. The Dodgers may need their stars back to secure a bye and perform well in October.
