Freddie Freeman Scratched From Dodgers’ Lineup for Game 4 vs Padres

The Los Angeles Dodgers have scratched Freddie Freeman from the lineup for their win-or-go-home Game 4 against the San Diego Padres.

Here’s the new lineup:

  1. Shohei Ohtani DH
  2. Mookie Betts RF
  3. Teoscar Hernández LF
  4. Max Muncy 1B
  5. Will Smith C
  6. Tommy Edman SS
  7. Gavin Lux 2B
  8. Kiké Hernández 3B
  9. Chris Taylor CF

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hinted at Freeman potentially being unavailable to play when talking to reporters before the game.

“As of right now he’s in there. And he’s doing everything he can to be in there,” Roberts said pregame. “So, like I said, he’s in there right now. But unless something changes as he’s getting ready, I might have to pivot. But right now he’s in there.”

Clearly, Roberts had to pivot, as Freeman won’t be starting for L.A.

Chris Taylor replaced him in the lineup.

First pitch for Wednesday night’s game is 6:08 p.m. PT. If the Dodgers lose, their 2024 season will be over. If the Dodgers win, Game 5 will be on Friday in Los Angeles.
