Freddie Freeman missed a game against his old team, the Atlanta Braves, due to an ankle injury aggravated by a shower incident. This marks the third game Freeman has missed this season, following discomfort earlier in the season from rib issues. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Freeman has shown good performance against the Braves historically, but the decision was made to prioritize his health given the situation. Kiké Hernández started in Freeman's place, while Freeman's status will be re-evaluated soon.
"He had a little mishap in the shower. It swelled up a little bit. Not able to play tonight." - Dave Roberts on Freeman's injury.
"He feels that he could go out there and play. But just the upside-downside, doing the math, just let him recoup today." - Dave Roberts on Freeman's condition.
