Dodgers Activate Freddie Freeman From Paternity List, Send Ryan Ward to Triple-A

His return restores the Dodgers’ regular infield alignment after a two-game absence.

Overview

  • Freddie Freeman was reinstated Tuesday and returned to start at first base and bat third against the Giants.
  • Freeman missed two games to be present for the birth of his first daughter, London Rosemary Joy, on Sunday, April 19.
  • The Dodgers optioned Ryan Ward to Triple-A Oklahoma City after his two-game debut in which he went 2-for-6 with an RBI.
  • Through 20 games this season, Freeman is hitting .296 with three home runs and 14 RBIs.
  • MLB’s paternity list allows up to three days away for a birth, which enabled the Dodgers to cover his short absence with a brief call-up.
