Freddie Freeman, first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, will return to the lineup after his son, Max, was discharged from the hospital.
Freeman had been away from the team for eight games to care for his three-year-old son, who was hospitalized with Guillain-Barré syndrome.
The Dodgers will wear shirts displaying "Max Strong" in support of Freeman's son, showcasing the team's solidarity.
Despite the difficult time, Freeman is rejoining the Dodgers, who are currently in first place in the National League West, with a winning record.
