Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers had a notable performance against the Kansas City Royals, despite the team's loss that ended their five-game winning streak. Freeman, an eight-time All-Star, reached base in all five of his plate appearances, marking a return to form during a slump. Manager Dave Roberts opted to rest Freeman, allowing him two consecutive days off to recuperate. This strategic decision reflects the team's efforts to ensure Freeman's longevity throughout the season, as he aims for a full schedule despite ongoing injuries earlier this year.
Freeman is having another All-Star caliber season, appearing in 72 of the Dodgers' 84 games, with a notable performance against the Royals, snapping a personal slump.
Despite a strong showing against the Royals, Freeman is being rested to provide him with extra recovery time, demonstrating thoughtful management by the Dodgers.
Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of rest, stating that two days off would benefit Freeman in the long run for the upcoming series.
Freeman aims to play all 162 games, but has acknowledged the need for more off days this season due to prior injuries and fatigue.
