LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Sunday’s 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the sixth inning.
Manager Dave Roberts said Freeman is day to day with a left wrist contusion.
“I held my breath,†Roberts said. “I think we all did because, you know, when you’re scuffling and to potentially lose a guy for four to six weeks is obviously very scary. But, you know, exhale, sigh of relief after hearing that it (the X-ray) was negative.â€
Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana threw an 88 mph sinker that ran inside and hit Freeman in the wrist as he attempted to hold up a partial swing.

Freeman immediately walked toward the dugout, stopped briefly to speak with Roberts and a team trainer, and proceeded down the dugout steps and into the tunnel.
Freeman broke his left wrist in 2017 after being hit by a pitch with the Atlanta Braves.
“He just doesn’t come out of games,†Roberts said. “And so I didn’t know why he was walking towards me. Then hearing him saying that it was his wrist and can’t continue, yeah, (I was) really worried.â€
Roberts said the team will follow up with Freeman on Monday before determining when he will play again.
Hyeseong Kim replaced Freeman as a pinch-runner, and Miguel Rojas took over at first base the following inning.
