Battling through a sprained right ankle, Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman has struggled at the plate in the National League Championship Series. The injury appears to be taking a toll on him, so manager Dave Roberts has elected to remove him from the lineup for Game 6.

Max Muncy will man first base in Freeman’s stead. Since the former had been playing third for the Dodgers, they shifted Kiké Hernández to cover for him. Subsequently, Chris Taylor will slot into second.
