Freddie Freeman - Intends to play Game 1 Freeman (ankle) told reporters Friday that he will play in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Freeman sprained his ankle against the Padres on Sept. 26, which kept him out of the last three games of the regular season. While he was told that the severity of the sprain takes 4-to-6 weeks of recovery on the injured list, Freeman relayed that he would "try and do it in a week." The veteran first baseman went through defensive drills and ran the bases Friday, and while he didn't look 100 percent, he appears determined to play at first base in Game 1 of the NLDS.

Freddie Freeman - Expected to be in lineup Manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday that Freeman (ankle) will undergo a full workout and is expected to be in the lineup for Game 1 of the NLDS against the Padres, Mike DiGi...
Impact Freeman will run the bases and play defense Friday, and while Roberts expects the first baseman to be in the lineup for Game 1, a decision won't be made until Saturday, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. If Freeman is unable to go for Game 1, he should be available to pinch-hit off the bench while Max Muncy or Enrique Hernandez start at first base, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Freeman missed the last three games of the regular season after rolling his ankle against the Padres on Sept. 26. The 35-year-old finished the regular season slashing .282/.378/.476 with 22 home runs and 89 RBI across 638 plate appearances.
