Overview

  • Freddie Freeman was activated by the Dodgers after missing nine games due to a right ankle injury sustained in a shower slip.
  • An MRI revealed fraying of scar tissue in Freeman's surgically repaired ankle, though he reports feeling significantly improved.
  • Freeman has appeared in three games since his return, with his playing time being carefully managed to avoid further setbacks.
  • The first baseman previously underwent debridement surgery in December 2024 to address loose bodies in the same ankle.
  • Manager Dave Roberts highlighted the importance of Freeman's contributions while praising Kiké Hernández for stepping up during Freeman's absence.
