Why Freddie Freeman is out of the Game 4 starting lineup of the NLCS vs the Mets
If you've watched Freddie Freeman play this entire postseason, you've seen the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar first baseman limping a lot, yet he's been able to hit and field.
That may not be the case for Game 4 of the NLCS. He's out from the starting lineup, and we'll see if he needs to (or can) pinch hit.
He suffered a sprained right ankle and a bone bruise that might have equaled a stint on the injured list had it been the regular season. But he's played through it, running the bases and doing it all.
So what's the latest update? Nothing yet, but we'll update you when we know:

Dave Roberts' full quote on Freddie Freeman Tuesday.
"It's a day-to-day conversation. I just don't see any world that he doesn't start a playoff game in the NLCS. But again, if he can't do it, that's very telling. The weather probably will play a factor."
