Dodgers Place Freddie Freeman on Injured List Due to Unfortunate Update
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed first baseman Freddie Freeman on the injured list due to a right ankle injury, the same one he injured at the end of last season and underwent offseason surgery on this winter.

Freeman is eligible to return April 10 from the 10-day injured list. The Dodgers did not announce who will be called up in light of Freeman’s status.
The Dodgers revealed Freeman had a “mishap” in the shower, which caused the first baseman to tweak his ankle (that wasn’t 100 percent to begin with). He did not play in any of the three games against the Atlanta Braves this week.
Freeman commented on the freak accident, and said he felt much better on Tuesday.
“Halfway through my (Sunday) morning coffee, I was like, ‘Oh, I’ll just shower to get ready for the day,’” Freeman said. “And next thing you know, I’m down in the bathtub. It’s a great mental picture, if you guys want to think about it, big guy falling all over the place. … Freak accident, you can’t really make it up, crazy.
“But it was just one of those things. You slip in bathtub showers all the time. And when you’re healthy, you just catch yourself. And when you’re not, when you’ve got a little surgically repaired ankle, mostly I think it just flared everything kind of back up. I was a little sore. Sore on the inside still. But I’m feeling much better.”
Freeman has missed a total of five games to start the 2025 season, and yet, the Dodgers remain undefeated ahead of their series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
