The Los Angeles Dodgers recently had Freddie Freeman and Alex Call miss a game due to injury, and Alex Vesia was placed on the injured list. None of the three injuries appear to be serious. Freeman missed Wednesday's game with a neck "stinger" but is expected to return for Friday's series opener in Arizona. Hyeseong Kim is on a rehab assignment and appears likely to rejoin the roster on Sept. 1 after playing some left field. Muncy took batting practice and defensive drills and is on track to return next week during the road trip in Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Michael Kopech became eligible to come off the 60-day IL, has been on a rehab assignment, and is likely to be a Sept. 1 call-up.
Freeman missed Wednesday's game with what manager Dave Roberts called a "stinger" in his neck area. Roberts expressed optimism Freeman would return for Friday's series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks. "It's something he's dealt with before," Roberts said ahead of Wednesday's game. "Played through worse, he said. But we just felt to be safe, to not to play him tonight."
Kim played some left field during his rehab assignment, but it remains to be seen if he's an option there at the big league level. "Obviously we know Hyeseong can play second base," Roberts said of Kim playing in left on his rehab assignment. "We know he can play shortstop. So just seeing him out in left field, I think that it just potentially gives us a little bit more options."
