Freddie Freeman returns to Dodgers’ lineup with his finger still broken, but mind reset

New York Times  

PHOENIX — Freddie Freeman spent his miserable week wandering. “A lot’s been going on the last six, seven weeks,” Freeman said. And now I’m back here and giving everything I can to the game now.” It helped when the Dodgers took two of their three games against Baltimore and expanded their division lead to four games. It also helped that Freeman came back as the Dodgers returned to the site of their latest October disappointment against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field, where they were swept out of last year’s NLDS. “I think you can even go back the next two years, where it’s been very … disappointing is certainly an understatement, how it ended,” Roberts said.
