LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> first baseman Freddie Freeman<\/a> exited Sunday’s 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n

Manager Dave Roberts said Freeman is day to day with a left wrist contusion.<\/p>\n

“I held my breath,” Roberts said. “I think we all did because, you know, when you’re scuffling and to potentially lose a guy for four to six weeks is obviously very scary. But, you know, exhale, sigh of relief after hearing that it (the X-ray) was negative.”<\/p>\n

Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana<\/a> threw an 88 mph sinker that ran inside and hit Freeman in the wrist as he attempted to hold up a partial swing.<\/p>\n

Freeman immediately walked toward the dugout, stopped briefly to speak with Roberts and a team trainer, and proceeded down the dugout steps and into the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Freeman broke his left wrist in 2017 after being hit by a pitch with the Atlanta Braves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“He just doesn’t come out of games,” Roberts said. “And so I didn’t know why he was walking towards me. Then hearing him saying that it was his wrist and can’t continue, yeah, (I was) really worried.”<\/p>\n

Roberts said the team will follow up with Freeman on Monday before determining when he will play again.<\/p>\n

Hyeseong Kim<\/a> replaced Freeman as a pinch-runner, and Miguel Rojas<\/a> took over at first base the following inning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Sunday’s 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,591,85],"class_list":["post-9641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
