Los Angeles (AP) – The fall of Freddie Freeman landed on the injured list.
The Los Angeles dodgers placed their star slugger on the 10-day IL Thursday after the World Series MVP walked its right ankle surgically repaired in a shift in the shower at home last weekend. The incident occurred on Sunday, a day off for reigning champions.
Freeman has not played in just three games so far. He missed the opening series of the opening of the season against the Chicago Cubs with an embarrassment of the left coast and sat down three games this week against his former team, The Atlanta Braves.
The Dodgers left 8-0 and opened a six game trip on Friday in Philadelphia.
Freeman described the shower pants as a “weird accident” and said that his wife, Chelsea, joked: “I thought I was going to face this when you are 70 years old, not when you are 35 years old.” Even his 4-year-old son, Brandon, accumulated, saying: “Dad, you have another Boo-Boo.”
Freeman walked his right ankle during a game at the first goal at the end of September and had trouble during the first two rounds of the playoffs, but it was barely obvious during the World Series. He dominated the first four games and had 12 points produced while the Dodgers beat New York Yankees in five games.
He has undergone debridement surgery In December to eliminate loose bodies from ankle.
His wife had to drive him to the Dodger stadium on Sunday for a three -hour treatment session. As it was over, he was able to bring himself home. A x -ray has shown no serious damage.
Freeman has 3 for 12 with two circuits in three games this season – his fourth with the Dodgers. All-star eight times, he was a player par excellence from the National League with Atlanta in 2020.
