Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is sidelined with a jammed finger, worsened by swelling, impacting L.A.'s lineup as they battle for the NL West title.
Despite initial negative x-rays, Freeman's inability to grip a bat signals a potential critical period for the Dodgers, with their offense depending heavily on his presence.
The return of Tommy Edman and likely activation of Muncy provides some relief for the Dodgers, though neither can replace Freeman's impactful .292 batting average.
The competitive nature of the NL West standings, with only a few games separating the teams, adds urgency to Freeman's recovery and potential return.
