URGENT UPDATE: Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman left today’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers after sustaining a painful injury in the sixth inning. Freeman was hit by a pitch on his left wrist, leading to immediate concerns for his health.
The incident unfolded at 3:15 PM PDT when Brewers pitcher Jose Quintana unleashed an 88 mph sinker that caught Freeman square on the wrist as he attempted to hold back a swing. The Dodgers quickly confirmed that Freeman suffered a left wrist contusion, raising alarm bells among fans and teammates alike.
