First baseman Freddie Freeman was scratched from Game 4 as the Los Angeles Dodgers try to avoid elimination in their National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres. Freeman was lifted for a pinch-runner in Game 3 on Tuesday after he limped to first on an eighth-inning single.

"The thought is he's going to play (Tuesday)," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Monday. "If he can't, then he won't." There was no obvious play in which Freeman aggravated the ankle injury in Game 2 on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman continued to battle right ankle discomfort, while San Diego Padres infielder Xander Bogaerts suffered from a hamstring cramp in Game 2 of the NLDS on Sunday.
