Freeman went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Diamondbacks.
Freeman is contending with a hairline fracture in his right middle finger, which was the reason he sat out the Dodgers' previous three games. His two-run homer in the first inning was his first long ball since Aug. 9, with the finger injury a contributor to that power drought. Friday's win put the Dodgers five games ahead of Arizona in the NL West, and the team could take a cautious approach with Freeman if it locks up a division crown early in September. The first baseman has a .283/.380/.478 slash line with 18 homers, 76 RBI, 71 runs scored, 31 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 123 games this season.
