Freddie Freeman exits Dodgers game after being hit by pitch on wrist

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman exited Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers after being hit by a pitch on his left wrist in the sixth inning.

Brewers left-hander Jose Quintana threw an 88 mph sinker that ran inside and hit Freeman square in the wrist as he attempted to hold up a partial swing.

Freeman immediately walked toward the home dugout, stopped briefly in front of it to speak with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and a team trainer, and proceeded to walk down the dugout steps and into the tunnel.

After the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided an update on Freeman, stating that the initial x-rays were negative and that he would undergo further testing. In the interim, Freeman would be listed as day-to-day with rookie catcher Dalton Rushing playing first base.

However, with Rushing catching on Sunday, Hyeseong Kim replaced Freeman as a pinch-runner, and Miguel Rojas took over at first base the following inning.
