Manager Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers said that World Series MVP Freddie Freeman is expected to be back in the lineup soon.

Freddie Freeman found himself on the injured list this week, days after he slipped and fell in the shower at home and reinjured the ankle he hurt in the postseason.

The ankle is the same one that underwent surgery after the 2024 season. Freeman played through the pain for the entire MLB postseason after badly spraining his ankle at the end of the regular season, and he was also dealing with broken rib cartilage. Neither injury prevented him from hitting home runs in four straight games in the World Series.
