\"Dodgers<\/p>\n

Just when it looked like the Los Angeles Dodgers were getting healthier, they were bit by the injury bug once again.<\/p>\n

Freddie Freeman and Alex Call are the latest Dodgers who were forced to miss a game due to injury. Alex Vesia is the latest Dodger to go on the injured list.<\/p>\n

None of the three injuries appear to be serious, though, and the Dodgers are also expecting a few reinforcements to come off the IL next week. Here\u2019s the latest update on some key injured Dodgers who appear closest to a return with September call ups nearing.<\/p>\n

Freddie Freeman Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Freeman missed Wednesday\u2019s game with what manager Dave Roberts called a \u201cstinger\u201d in his neck area. Roberts expressed optimism Freeman would return for Friday\u2019s series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something he\u2019s dealt with before,\u201d Roberts said ahead of Wednesday\u2019s game. \u201cPlayed through worse, he said. But we just felt to be safe, to not to play him tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyeseong Kim Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Kim is currently on a rehab assignment and appears likely to rejoin the team on Sept. 1 when rosters expand to 28.<\/p>\n

Kim played some left field during his rehab assignment, but it remains to be seen if he\u2019s an option there at the big league level.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously we know Hyeseong can play second base,\u201d Roberts said of Kim playing in left on his rehab assignment. \u201cWe know he can play shortstop. So just seeing him out in left field, I think that it just potentially gives us a little bit more options.\u201d<\/p>\n

Max Muncy Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Muncy hasn\u2019t gone on a rehab assignment yet, but took batting practice and did defensive drills on the field Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He remains on track to return sometime next week during the team\u2019s road trip in Pittsburgh and Baltimore.<\/p>\n

Michael Kopech Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Kopech officially became eligible to come off the 60-day IL on Wednesday, and has been on a rehab assignment. He will likely be the team\u2019s other Sept. 1 call up alongside Kim.<\/p>\n

Alex Call Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Call injured the SI joint in his back on Tuesday and didn\u2019t play Wednesday. Roberts said the team is hoping he\u2019s able to avoid a stint on the IL, but they\u2019ll know more in the coming days. He\u2019s currently considered day to day.<\/p>\n
