All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman was placed on the family emergency list by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
Freeman was scratched from starting lineup for Friday\'s series opener against the Houston Astros and returned to Los Angeles.
\"He\'s on the family emergency list, and I think you have seven days, potentially nine days,\" Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. \"We\'re just trying to let him spend time with his family and pray that things continue to improve. I don\'t know his time, and I know for me, personally, it was just kind of waiting to hear from him and when he wants to come back.\"
