Freddie Freeman Set to Rest Monday as Knee Injury Concerns Grow

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman will sit out Monday against the Reds as he continues to battle severe right knee patellar tendonitis. Freeman is in a 1-for-18 slump at the plate and committed a costly errant throw during Sunday's 6-4 walk-off loss to Miami. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged Freeman is clearly hampered defensively and in the box, though the team is avoiding an injured list stint for now.
