LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers activated slugger Freddie Freeman off the injured list Friday after he missed nine games with a right ankle injury that resulted from slipping in the shower at home.

Freeman said an MRI showed fraying of the scar tissue in his surgically repaired ankle, but he was back to running bases a few days ago.
