Freeman hasn’t played since March 29, and has only appeared in three games for the Dodgers this season. However, after missing two games in Japan against the Cubs due to rib discomfort, and after missing nine games due to him re-injuring his ankle, Freeman is officially back in the lineup and batting fourth for the Dodgers.
Here’s the full Dodgers lineup against Cubs left-hander Matthew Boyd, with Max Muncy getting the night off:
- Shohei Ohtani, DH
- Mookie Betts, SS
- Teoscar Hernández, RF
- Freddie Freeman, 1B
- Tommy Edman, 2B
- Will Smith, C
- Michael Conforto, LF
- Andy Pages, CF
- Miguel Rojas, 3B
The Dodgers are coming off a 2-4 roadtrip, but are looking to get back on track against a Cubs team they swept in the Tokyo Series.
The Dodgers have right-handed pitcher Yoshinubu Yamamoto on the mound. Yamamoto has gone 1-1 with a 1.69 ERA this season with 19 strikeouts and six walks.
