Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman returned to the lineup on Monday night against the Philadelphia Phillies after missing eight games to be with his ailing son who was stricken with Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Freeman's three year-old son, Maximus, first became ill during the All-Star break in July, and got progressively worse to the point where he couldn't sit up or walk and stopped eating and drinking. Eventually, Maximus was put on a ventilator as doctors probed for answers.
