Freddie Freeman's injury is a minor jammed finger, but with the postseason approaching, the Dodgers will prioritize caution over rushing him back into play.
Freeman left Saturday's game after sustaining swelling in his right hand, and Kiké Hernández will continue to fill in at first base for the absent star.
The Dodgers have been plagued with injuries this season, and while Freeman's injury isn't severe, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining their top players.
Freeman's absence coincides with a shrinking lead in the National League West, as the Dodgers aim to fend off competition from the Padres and Diamondbacks.
