Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers' first baseman, suffered a minor injury after slipping in the shower, causing swelling in his surgically repaired right ankle. Despite being eager to play, manager Dave Roberts opted to rest him for a game as a precaution. Freeman, the 2024 World Series MVP, has been performing well this season, with a batting average of .249 and notable contributions during the World Series despite previous ankle issues. The Dodgers aim to continue their strong start against Freeman's former team, the Atlanta Braves.
Freeman sprained his right ankle on a play at first base in late September and struggled in the first two rounds of the postseason, but it was hardly evident during the World Series.
He had a little mishap entering the shower. Kind of swelled up a little bit,
For the most part, he's always kicking and screaming (to play).
