Freddie Freeman Battles Knee Soreness As Dodgers Manage Rest

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went 3-for-5 in a 4-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds, recording his first multi-hit game since September 2. Freeman continues to play through right knee soreness that has sapped his power and limited his production, prompting manager Dave Roberts to utilize frequent off days and designated hitter appearances rather than an injured list stint to ensure the veteran is at optimal health for the upcoming postseason.
