Freeman is receiving a planned day off Sunday against the Cubs, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Freeman will get a breather as the Dodgers wrap up their series with Chicago. Manager Dave Roberts explained that the team didn't want the first baseman playing the entire six-game homestand without any rest, resulting in Freeman's absence from Sunday's lineup. Freeman will likely be back in action Monday for the team's series opener versus the Rockies at home.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Out of Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Freeman returned from the 10-day injured list Friday, and in his first two games back in action, he went 1-for-6 with one run scored and three strikeouts. The Dodgers haven't indicated that Freeman is dealing with any setbacks with his surgically repaired right ankle, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is presumably a rest day. Enrique Hernandez will step in for Freeman at first base and will bat eighth.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
Freeman (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Freeman aggravated an ankle injury over the weekend and has not been in the lineup since Saturday. He'll now be unavailable for at least another week, with the move being retroactive to March 31. Enrique Hernandez has started at first base with Freeman sidelined and is likely to continue to be the playing time beneficiary.
Freeman (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Wednesday will mark the third straight game Freeman has missed since aggravating his right ankle injury while in the shower over the weekend. Enrique Hernandez will pick up another start at first base and bat eighth while Freeman continues to recover. The eight-time All-Star will get an extra day to rest up with the team day off Thursday, though his status for Friday's series opener in Philadelphia remains up in the air.
Freeman (ankle) is absent from Tuesday's lineup against Atlanta.
This is the second straight game during which Freeman is not in the lineup for the Dodgers after aggravating his right ankle at home while in the shower Monday. This is the same ankle that the 35-year-old sprained in 2024 and that has yet to completely heal. He underwent imaging and the X-rays came back negative Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. As Freeman nurses his ankle, Enrique Hernandez has the start at first base again.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Tending to ankle
Rotowire
Freeman is absent from Monday's lineup against Atlanta due to a sore right ankle, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Freeman had a "mishap" while showering Saturday night according to manager Dave Roberts, resulting in an apparent aggravation of his formerly sprained right ankle, which hasn't completely healed yet. The first baseman is dealing with some swelling, so Los Angeles opted to rest him Monday. Freeman can be considered day-to-day for the time being, while Enrique Hernandez will handle first base in the series opener with Atlanta.
Freeman is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
It appears to be a routine day off for Freeman, who has homered in each of his last two contests. Enrique Hernandez will get the start at first base versus right-hander Grant Holmes.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Homers in second straight game
Rotowire
Freeman went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and two RBI in a 7-3 win against the Tigers on Saturday.
Freeman put the Dodgers on the board with a 418-foot solo homer in the first inning and added a run-scoring double in the seventh. The star first baseman has gone deep in each of his past two games and has four RBI over that span. Freeman appears to be well past the rib issue that kept him out of Los Angeles' first two games of the campaign in Tokyo during mid-March.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Slugs first homer of 2025
Rotowire
Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-5 victory against the Tigers.
The Dodgers were shut out by Jack Flaherty until the sixth inning, when Freeman tagged his former teammate for a two-run homer to center field. The blast was the first hit of the season for Freeman, who sat out Los Angeles' two-game, season-opening set against the Cubs in Tokyo due to an injury to his ribs. The veteran first baseman appears to be fine now and has been relatively durable in recent campaigns, as he hasn't missed time due to an injured-list stint since 2017.
