Will his health allow Dodgers' Freddie Freeman to deliver another postseason signature moment?

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Freddie Freeman enters the postseason under a cloud of uncertainty regarding his batting power following a second half plagued by right knee tendinitis. Freeman managed only a single home run after the All-Star break, recording a .339 slugging percentage and a career-low 16 long balls for a full campaign.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted that knee discomfort forced alterations to Freeman's batting mechanics, though the player insists his body feels ready for the challenges ahead. With teammate Shohei Ohtani drawing heavy attention from opposing pitchers, Los Angeles will need a healthy Freeman to rediscover his usual swing to avoid opponents pitching around the top of their lineup.
