"It is what it is," Freeman said. "I know what every day is like, I just wish I could do my routine. You guys know I'm very routine-based, and I haven't been able to do it. I'll get to the field tomorrow when the training room opens to get my treatment and right after that get in the cage to try and fix this swing."
Freeman has received treatment for his ankle to remain in the Dodgers lineup, but the pain is not improving. He has gone just 7-for-32 with one RBI in the 2024 postseason and also does not look the same defensively.
If Freeman misses Game 6, Max Muncy will likely play first base, with Kiké Hernández sliding over to third base and Andy Pages possibly getting a start in center field as well.
Dodgers didn't consider resting Freddie Freeman in Game 5. Had Freeman not played Friday, it would have afforded him three days off in a row before possibly returning to the field. But that wasn't a scenario the Dodgers entertained.
