Freddie Freeman Exits Game with Left Wrist Contusion as Dodgers are Swept by Brewers

AutoDraft Pro AI

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman, the reigning World Series MVP, left Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers in the sixth inning after being hit on his left wrist by an 88 mph sinker from Jose Quintana. He was immediately diagnosed with a left wrist contusion and was replaced by Hyeseong Kim as a pinch-runner, with Miguel Rojas taking over at first base. Freeman, who is among the Dodgers' leaders in batting average (.292) and third in runs (47) and hits (95), sustained the injury during the Dodgers' 6-5 loss, which completed a sweep by the Brewers and marked the Dodgers' tenth loss in their last twelve games, adding to the team's ongoing struggles. The potential loss of Freeman would be a significant blow given the team is already missing key players like Max Muncy and Kiké Hernández.
