Freddie Freeman exits the Dodgers’ series finale against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field after being hit on the hand in the batter’s box. The incident occurs during the game as Los Angeles is ultimately swept by Chicago. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provides an injury update following Freeman’s exit, saying X-rays are negative. Multiple reports describe Freeman as taking a fastball to the hand in the fifth inning, and the team evaluates the injury before sending him out of the contest. After the negative X-ray result, Freeman indicates he expects to be able to play in the next game. The reports do not specify any additional imaging beyond the X-rays or the immediate medical plan after the results, but they consistently portray the situation as a scare that avoids a confirmed fracture. The Dodgers’ sweep remains the broader game outcome, while Freeman’s hand injury is treated as the key concern to monitor going forward.
