Freeman (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets on Sunday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
Freeman has been hampered by a high-ankle sprain throughout the postseason. He was held out for Game 4 of the NLCS, but he returned to the lineup for Game 5, and manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism Saturday that the veteran first baseman would be in the lineup for Game 6. However, Freeman will begin Sunday's game in the dugout, though he could be available to pinch hit if called upon. Max Muncy will shift over to first base while Enrique Hernandez enters the lineup at third base against Mets southpaw Sean Manaea.
