Freddie Freeman returned to the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ lineup Saturday after missing two games with right knee soreness.
Freeman said the injury was patellar tendinitis, a recurring issue.
The 37-year-old first baseman went 0-for-4 in a 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. The defeat snapped the Dodgers’ season-best eight-game winning streak.
Freeman entered Saturday with a .297 average and a .453 slugging percentage over 140 games. He struggled in September, going 3-for-22 with nine strikeouts over his previous seven games.
Despite Saturday’s loss, the Dodgers still hold a comfortable lead in the NL West.
