Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman Injures Ankle in Home Accident
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman suffered a setback with his surgically repaired right ankle after slipping while entering the shower at his home. The injury caused swelling, forcing Freeman to miss Monday’s game against his former team, the Atlanta Braves.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts remains optimistic about Freeman’s recovery, stating that the injury isn’t expected to keep him out for long. Known for his resilience, Freeman played 147 games in the 2024 season, recording 22 home runs, 89 RBIs, and a .282 batting average.
This season, Freeman has appeared in three games, going 3-for-12 at the plate with two home runs and four RBIs. His absence will be felt as the Dodgers continue their strong start to the season, currently holding a 6-0 record.
Meanwhile, other key players have stepped up. Catcher Will Smith boasts a .619 on-base percentage, while Shohei Ohtani leads the league with nine runs scored. As the Dodgers aim to maintain momentum, fans and teammates are hopeful for Freeman’s swift
return.
