Dodgers place Freddie Freeman on IL with ankle injury after shower 'mishap'

Freddie Freeman ended the 2024 MLB season with a career-defining run for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is beginning the 2025 season on a somewhat lower note.

The Dodgers announced Thursday they are placing the reigning World Series MVP on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle injury he incurred from slipping in the shower at home. The move is retroactive to March 31.

There was no corresponding move, as the Dodgers were off Thursday, but they'll be able to add a player to their 26-man roster before Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
