Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star Freddie Freeman has a hairline fracture in his right middle finger but plans to continue playing with it.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the injury Monday night. Freeman suffered the injury while fielding a ground ball in Saturday’s loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Initial X-rays came back negative, but Freeman sat out Sunday’s final game of the series against St. Louis.

Roberts revealed to reporters Monday that a subsequent CT scan revealed the fracture, but that Freeman was scheduled to play Monday night against the Seattle Mariners. According to reporters, Roberts said the Dodgers didn’t put much thought into placing Freeman on the injured list and that Freeman said he could play through the pain.

This is a developing story and will be updated regularly.
