Freddie Freeman is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Reds. As expected, Freeman takes a seat with the Dodgers managing a relatively minor right knee issue that he’s been playing through recently.

A Los Angeles Dodgers veteran suffered an injury, Freddie Freeman suffered a setback and there may be some competition for Tarik Skubal this offseason.

Freddie Freeman grounds into a double play, second baseman Xavier Edwards to shortstop Otto Lopez to first baseman Griffin Conine. Mookie Betts out at 2nd. Freddie Freeman out at 1st.

Freddie Freeman will take a seat on Monday, manager Dave Roberts said.
