Dodgers' Freddie Freeman Undergoes Ankle Surgery Following World Series MVP Performance

The 35-year-old first baseman is expected to recover in time for spring training after playing through injury during the Dodgers' championship run.

Freddie Freeman had surgery on his right ankle to address a bone bruise and remove loose bodies, with the procedure performed by Dr. Kenneth Jung in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Dodgers expect Freeman to participate in baseball activities during spring training, though no specific game readiness timeline was provided.
Freeman sustained the injury on September 26 while running to first base and missed the final three games of the regular season.
Despite the injury, Freeman played in 13 of 16 postseason games, delivering a historic walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series and hitting four home runs in the series to earn MVP honors.
The Dodgers will open their 2025 season on March 18 in Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs, with Freeman anticipated to be a key part of their lineup.
