Los Angeles Dodgers ’ Freddie Freeman heads to first after hitting a grand slam during the eighth inning of a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox Friday, July 19, 2024, in Los Angeles. HOUSTON — All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman was placed on the family emergency list by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
Freeman was scratched from starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Houstob Astros and returned to Los Angeles. “He’s on the family emergency list, and I think you have seven days, potentially nine days,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “We’re just trying to let him spend time with his family and pray that things continue to improve. I don’t know his time, and I know for me, personally, it was just kind of waiting to hear from him and when he wants to come back.”
Roberts said after Friday night’s game that Freeman’s 3-year-old son, Maximus, was undergoing tests, and he expected Freeman to miss the series. “I talked to Freddie, obviously, before he left. I was texting with him as he was flying, checked in on him last night, and they’re just continuing to get tests,” Roberts said Saturday. “My encouragement was to remain hopeful.”Roberts said Cavan Biggio and Kiké Hernández will get time at first in Freeman’s absence.
