Freddie Freeman, who suffered an ankle sprain Sept. 26 against the Padres, believes the time off before the World Series will be beneficial after struggling in the NLCS.
It might be the World Series matchup everyone wanted to see. But three days before the Dodgers and New York Yankees opened their best-of-seven set in the Fall Classic, first baseman Freddie Freeman had no intentions of watching from the side.
In Game 3, Freeman had a fifth-inning single, but was removed in the eighth while clearly laboring at the plate. And even after a day off in Game 4, Freeman went 0 for five in his return to action the following night, calling it “one of the first times I felt my ankle had compromised my swing.” “A week or so ago, I could get through four or five innings before I was having trouble walking,” Freeman added. “And obviously in Game 5, it started happening pretty much right after my first at-bat.
