Dodgers' Freddie Freeman departs Game 2 with ankle discomfort
Yesterday at 10:06 PM
LOS ANGELES — Freddie Freeman, who gutted through a sprained right ankle to star in the Los Angeles Dodgers' Game 1 victory on Saturday night, exited Sunday's Game 2 in the sixth inning with continued discomfort in that ankle. Freeman lined out sharply in his last at-bat and was on the back end of a routine groundout to shortstop in the previous inning. That he was even playing at all against the San Diego Padres was an uncertainty; Freeman said this week that doctors told him his severe ankle sprain and bone bruise typically would land a player on the injured list for four to six weeks.
