Dodgers' Freddie Freeman Leaves Team to Support Hospitalized Son

Freeman's three-year-old son, Maximus, is battling transient synovitis, causing severe hip pain and immobility.

Freeman's wife, Chelsea, shared updates on Instagram about their son's condition and hospital stay.
Maximus developed the condition following a viral infection during the MLB All-Star Week.
Freeman left the Dodgers' lineup to be with his family, with no set timetable for his return.
The Dodgers may place Freeman on the Family Emergency List, requiring a minimum three-day absence.
In Freeman's absence, the Dodgers will rely on other players and may make roster adjustments before the trade deadline.
