First baseman Freddie Freeman was granted leave by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday to be with his ailing 3-year-old son.
Freeman was with the team when it traveled to Houston for the start of a weekend series against the Astros, but he exited ahead of Friday\'s contest to return to California.
Chelsea Freeman, Freddie\'s wife, wrote on Instagram that their son Maximus has transient synovitis, a temporary condition that causes hip inflammation and typically occurs in young boys.
