Dodgers manager Dave Roberts explained Freeman's omission from the NLCS Game 4 lineup was due to managing his workload, especially after playing consecutively in the postseason. He noted the decision was partly influenced by Freeman's ongoing recovery from an ankle sprain sustained in late September, suggesting a strategic approach to ensure Freeman stays healthy for critical games ahead.
Freeman has demonstrated resilience by quickly returning from an injury that typically requires a four-to-six week recovery period. Managers and fans watched closely as he navigated through challenges, hoping his presence can help the Dodgers maintain their playoff push while ensuring he doesn't exacerbate his ankle sprain.
