LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Sunday’s 6-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the sixth inning.
Manager Dave Roberts said Freeman is day to day with a left wrist contusion.
“I held my breath,” Roberts said. “I think we all did because, you know, when you’re scuffling and to potentially lose a guy for four to six weeks is obviously very scary. But, you know, exhale, sigh of relief after hearing that it (the X-ray) was negative.”
Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana threw an 88 mph sinker that ran inside and hit Freeman in the wrist as he attempted to hold up a partial swing.
Freeman immediately walked toward the dugout, stopped briefly to speak with Roberts and a team trainer, and proceeded down the dugout steps and into the tunnel.
Freeman broke his left wrist in 2017 after being hit by a pitch with the Atlanta Braves.
“He just doesn’t come out of games,” Roberts said. “And so I didn’t know why he was walking towards me. Then hearing him saying that it was his wrist and can’t continue, yeah, (I was) really worried.”
Roberts said the team will follow up with Freeman on Monday before determining when he will play again.
Hyeseong Kim replaced Freeman as a pinch-runner, and Miguel Rojas took over at first base the following inning.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City killed two people and injured six others Wednesday, police said.
The shooting took place in the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church.
Dozens of people were attending a funeral inside at the time. All the victims were adults.
Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith.
“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.
Police also do not believe the shooting was random. Authorities said no suspect was in custody.
About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead.
“This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.
The church was cooperating with law enforcement and was grateful for efforts first responders' efforts, a spokesperson said.
“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” Sam Penrod said in a statement.
The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and about half of Utah’s 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Churches like the one where the shooting occurred can be found in towns throughout the city and state.
The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church last month and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against the church.
