LOS ANGELES — Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman departed Sunday’s National League Division Series game against the San Diego Padres after five innings due to right ankle discomfort.

Freeman started in each of the first two games of the series despite rolling his ankle in a Sept. 26 game, also against the Padres. He did not play in any of the Dodgers’ final three regular-season games.

The veteran left-handed hitter went 2-for-5 in Game 1 of the series on Saturday and was 0-for-2 in Game 2 on Sunday. Los Angeles moved third baseman Max Muncy to first base to start the sixth inning, with Enrique Hernandez taking over at third.

Freeman, 35, batted .282 with 22 home runs and 89 RBIs in 147 games this season. In 15 career seasons, the 2020 NL MVP is a .300 hitter with 343 home runs and 1,232 RBIs in 2,032 games for the Atlanta Braves (2010-21) and Dodgers (2022-24).
