Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs in the fifth inning after being hit on the hand by a pitch. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Freeman received X-rays, which returned negative.
Roberts indicated that he anticipates Freeman will be back in the lineup on Friday when the Dodgers begin a road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers have recently experienced a six-game losing streak, including consecutive series sweeps by the Cubs and the Boston Red Sox.
