Los Angeles Dodgers‘ strong start of eight consecutive victories was overshadowed by a three-game losing streak, leaving them 9-4 and displaced by the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants in the National League East, as well as being at risk of suffering their first sweep against the Washington Nationals.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that he anticipates first baseman Freddie Freeman will return to the lineup Friday when the team begins a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs.
Hard to be a Yankee fan! Freddie Freeman gifts will be given in Dodgers Stadium
After losing the series to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Dodgers have struggled in their visit to Washington and started out behind on the scoreboard in the first four innings, which could represent a painful setback and the urgency to have Freeman back in the lineup.
Freeman suffered a sprain in the shower
Freeman has been taking live batting practice in recent days. He was placed on the injured list retroactively to March 31 after suffering a sprained right ankle, which was operated on, when he slipped in the shower at his home.
“Just watching him run yesterday, I would say he’s better than when he started the season,” Roberts said. “I saw him make some lateral moves, but that’s probably a better question for Freddie.”
Freeman is 3-for-12 with two home runs and four RBIs in three games this season. He missed the Dodgers’ season-opening series in Tokyo against the Cubs with left rib soreness, then missed last week’s series against Atlanta before being placed on the injured list.
He twisted the same ankle last September, then struggled in the first two playoff series before winning the World Series MVP award, hitting four home runs in five games against the New York Yankees. He underwent debridement surgery in December to remove loose bodies from the ankle.

Aaron Rodgers on Roman Wilson: Steelers are ‘Going to Hold Him to High Standard’
Second-year Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson is turning heads this summer, and that includes the one who will be throwing him passes."I think he’s improving every day. You can’t skew the results from the details. You look at his game the other night, he made a couple splash plays. But we’re going to coach him hard," Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said about Wilson on Tuesday, according to Pro Football Talk. "His receiver coach, [offensive coordinator] Art [Smith], and myself on the details, because the details are what make the difference. And even though he had a couple of big plays, there’s some room for improvement there."Wouldn’t say anything if we just thought he was going to be a guy, just any guy that you could throw in. But I think he has a chance to be a big-time talent […]

Štybar stále nechápe Evenepoelův konec: Měl dojet do cíle. V Boře se asi škrábou na hlavě
Štybar se pustil do Evenepoela ihned po jeho odstoupení z průběžné třetí příčky ve 14. etapě Tour, jelikož v tentýž den komentoval přenos pro britskou televizi TNT. A jeho kritika vzbudila u cyklistických fanoušků řadu souhlasných, ale i nesouhlasných reakcí.Za svým názorem si 39letý rodák z Plané stojí i nyní. Navzdory tomu, že se Belgičan posléze rozpovídal o trápeních v přípravě i četných zdravotních problémech. „Když už víme okolnosti, situaci to trochu vysvětluje. Ale v daném momentu jsem byl přesvědčený, že měl zkusit dojet do cíle. A za tím si vlastně stojím i teď,“ prohlásil Štybar.„I kdyby chytil 20 minut ztrátu, měl se s týmem rozhodovat až v cíli, jestli závod vzdá. Zbývala už jen nedělní etapa do volného dne. Šanci přežít do pondělí určitě měl, pak se mohl dát trochu do kupy,“ mínil Štybar.Roli podle něj hrála očekávaná změna týmu. „Myslím, že měl v hlavě rozhodnutí, že odchází do Bory. Podle mě to musel vědět. S jeho charakterem […]
