Freeman is taking his ankle injury one day at a time. He hasn\u2019t said what his status is for the winner-take-all contest.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"stream-item-size\">\n<p>\u201cLike I said, it\u2019s day-to-day,\u201d\u00a0Freeman said after the game. \u201cJust happy we got a Game 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Freeman said he had a full day of rest and didn\u2019t even try to run on it. His plan for Thursday is to go to the field for treatment and see how it feels.<\/p>\n<p>The ankle needs weeks to heal and if this were the regular season, he would be on the injured list for at least four weeks \u2014 but he doesn\u2019t have time.<\/p>\n<p>A bone bruise in his foot adds to the pain and his side constantly aches. Injections and treatments have barely kept him going, allowing him to finish just one complete game during the Dodgers\u2019 National League Division Series against the Padres. Each time he takes the mound, it takes hours of work to get the former MVP ready to pitch again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he\u2019s been doing,\u201d\u00a0Max Muncy\u00a0said, \u201chas been gladiator-style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, Muncy said, \u201cEvery single guy in here went up to Freddie and said, \u2018Hey, we got you. Don\u2019t worry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers stepped up without the injured Freeman and shortstop Miguel Rojas. Eight relievers combined to shutout the Padres and the bottom of the Los Angeles lineup broke out of the series funk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you get into the postseason, it\u2019s a street fight,\u201d\u00a0Roberts said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s about people, players, and your desire has got to be more than your opponent. And for me to see our guys go through what they\u2019ve been through and respond the way they have really makes me excited about Game 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0first pitch of Game 5\u00a0is scheduled for 5:08 p.m. PT on Friday at Dodger Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Freddie Freeman knew Wednesday morning that he wouldn\u2019t play in Game 4 against the San Diego Padres.
