Looking at Freeman

Freeman has been struggling at the plate lately. This makes sense, given his ongoing injury trouble.

Freeman has not recorded a hit in each of his last four games. He has gone 0-for-15 over that span, which includes four strikeouts.

Given this, Freeman will now be looking to heat back up in his return to the Dodgers’ lineup. In 142 games this season for Los Angeles, he has 16 home runs, 66 RBI, and a .293 batting average.

Looking at the Dodgers

The Dodgers currently sport a 91-56 record and are first in the National League West. They have a nine-game lead over the second-place San Diego Padres, so they’re in good shape.

Los Angeles has also won eight out of their last 10 games. With this, they are not showing any signs of slowing down. This remains the case even if they have been dealing with injury trouble, including with Freeman.

The Dodgers will be looking to stay hot by picking up another win against the Reds on Tuesday.
