Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman misses win over Braves after slipping in shower at home, injuring ankle

Freddie Freeman was not with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night, and may not be for the near future after he had an incident in his shower at home in recent days.

The first baseman and reigning World Series MVP slipped in his shower and hurt his right ankle this past weekend, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed ahead of the 6-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday. The ankle is the same one that Freeman had minor surgery on in December after the team's World Series win.

“He had a little mishap entering the shower,” Roberts said, via The Associated Press.
