Social Media Reacts To Freeman News
Here’s what people were saying:
Bill Plunkett: “#Dodgers Dave Roberts said Freddie Freeman will not be in the lineup Monday. Clearly hasn’t been himself the past week between his swing and moving on defense, Roberts said.”
Jack Harris: “Freddie Freeman’s slump is up to 1-for-26. Dave Roberts said he clearly isn’t moving well in the box or at first (as his ninth-inning misplay today underlined) Thus, he’ll be out of Dodgers’ lineup again tomorrow”
@SirotaMVP: “Feel like you just gotta IL him rn, give him as much time as possible to get healthy before October and call up Ward or Tibbs in the meantime”
@Maxwell1995Vjjo: “The Dodgers will be going into the postseason with an injured Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages coming off a hand fracture, and Shohei Ohtani with a knee and bicep injury. Great vibes all around. It’s never been more over.”
@Luislv45626: “Let him rest until the postseason man, it’s essential we get that bye week”
