Canada’s Freeman pulled out of WBC by Dodgers after suffering lower-body injury
Team Canada star Freddie Freeman has been pulled out of the World Baseball Classic by the Los Angeles Dodgers, leaving his workforce with a large hole to fill in its must-win sport towards Mexico.
“He’s out of this tournament for now,” mentioned supervisor Ernie Whitt. “The Dodgers decided that. He’s over in camp right now getting looked at by the doctors and training staff. He’ll miss today’s game, obviously.”
The determination to not play Freeman towards Mexico had been made Tuesday after the primary baseman left Canada’s sport towards Colombia with a lower-body damage.

“Right now, he had tightness in his hammy. And, of course, for precautionary reasons we took him out of the game right away,” mentioned Whitt after Tuesday’s 5-0 win. “He felt something on one of his swings, his second at-bat. So, again we would do that to anyone if there’s discomfort or something like that, we’re going to take them out.”
Canada wants to tug off a victory towards Mexico to advance on to the World Baseball Classic’s quarterfinal spherical. The workforce is just not allowed to make any roster adjustments till then.
