Dodgers' Freddie Freeman Placed on IL After Suffering Ankle Injury in Shower

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Freddie Freeman on the 10-day injured list due to an ankle sprain, according to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Per Ardaya, Freeman's injured list placement is retroactive to March 31.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Monday that the eight-time All-Star slipped and injured his ankle, which was previously surgically repaired, while in the shower.

Freeman underwent a procedure in Dec. 2024 to help repair ankle issues that affected him throughout Los Angeles' 2024 postseason run, which culminated in a World Series victory.

The first baseman was still able to earn World Series MVP honors.

Freeman appeared in three of the Dodgers' first five games of the 2025 season, missing two contests against the Chicago Cubs in Japan due to left rib discomfort.

The former National League MVP was off to a strong start prior to his ankle injury. Freeman recorded two home runs and four RBIs in three appearances, posting a 1.083 OPS.

The 35-year-old has been a key piece of the Dodgers' lineup throughout his tenure with the organization, receiving All-Star nods in each of his first three years on the team.

He's recorded 74 homers and 295 RBIs to go along with a .314/.398/.522 slash line in 470 games with Los Angeles.

Despite Freeman's absence, the Dodgers have started their 2025 campaign on a high note. They currently sit atop the National League standings with a perfect 8-0 record.

Until Freeman is able to return from his stint on the injured list, expect Enrique Hernández to continue filling in as Los Angeles' starting first baseman.
