Shaikin: Freddie Freeman is hurting, and the Dodgers need to keep him on the bench
Briefly

Freddie Freeman's performance is suffering due to a sprained ankle that typically requires four weeks for recovery; he has played through it for two weeks.
Despite being one of the top hitters, Freeman admits, "I haven't had an extra-base hit in a while," acknowledging his struggles in the postseason.
Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts indicated that Freeman’s swing is impacted by his ankle injury: "I do think that his swing is not right...it's certainly an option to not have him in there for Game 6."
Freeman's recent performance statistics reveal a concerning trend; he has only three hits in 18 at-bats in the championship series, raising doubts about his effectiveness.
