Freddie Freeman sat out Game 4 due to an ankle injury, but the Dodgers shut out the Padres 8-0 to force a Game 5. Freeman’s status for the winner-take-all game remains uncertain as he manages his injury day by day.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will have to keep their season alive on Wednesday night without first baseman Freddie Freeman's presence in the starting lineup. The Dodgers scratched Freeman about two hours prior to the first pitch of NLDS Game 4 against the San Diego Padres.

Freeman’s injured ankle has limited him throughout the NLDS. Shortstop Miguel Rojas is also out of the Game 4 lineup with his injured adductor muscle.
