"It's like a grapefruit," Freeman said of the swelling in his sprained, but not broken, right ankle. "But they're pretty optimistic that I should be able to go by Saturday in the playoffs. That's what I'm banking on."
"Obviously it's really, really swollen, but they said once they get the fluid out, I should be able to go by Saturday," said Freeman, who used crutches during the Dodgers' clubhouse celebration but was walking with just the boot later in the night.
Manager Dave Roberts took that optimism one step further on Friday, saying that he can't "see any world" where Freeman isn't in the lineup for the start of the postseason. "He's just such a warrior," Roberts said. "And he's gonna do anything he can to post."
