Freddie Freeman to Play Through Finger Fracture

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman has been diagnosed with a hairline fracture in his right middle finger but plans to play through the injury, as confirmed by manager Dave Roberts. Freeman sustained the injury during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals, initially believed to be a jammed finger. Despite the swelling and pain, Freeman is determined to continue playing, showcasing his high pain tolerance. The Dodgers have activated Max Muncy and Tommy Edman from the injured list to bolster their lineup during Freeman's day-to-day status, with corresponding roster moves including optioning Andy Pages to Triple-A and designating Nick Ahmed for assignment. Freeman's performance this season includes a .292 batting average and leading the NL in on-base percentage (.391).
