Freddie Freeman's Unlucky Shower Slip Shakes Up Dodgers
You won’t believe this one—Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers' star first baseman, is dealing with an injury, and it didn’t even happen on the field. Nope, he tweaked his surgically repaired right ankle in the most unexpected way—slipping while stepping into his shower at home. Yeah, really.

So, here’s the situation: The Dodgers were set to face the Atlanta Braves in their series opener, and Freeman wasn’t in the lineup. Manager Dave Roberts explained that Freeman’s ankle swelled up after the slip, and the team decided to hold him out as a precaution. The good news? He’s listed as day-to-day and could be back as soon as Tuesday. But knowing Freeman, that might still be too long for his liking—this guy absolutely hates missing games.
If you remember, his ankle has already been through a lot. He had surgery on it after last season, and even before this incident, he was still undergoing treatment to manage it. During spring training, Freeman mentioned that his ankle wasn’t 100%, but he was pushing through. And we all know how much he loves to play—he’s the kind of guy who would probably take the field with one leg if they let him.
Freeman’s absence didn’t slow the Dodgers down, though. They cruised to a 6-1 win over the Braves, with Kiké Hernández stepping in at first base and even blasting a solo homer. The team is off to a hot start this season, now sitting at 6-0, and while missing Freeman is never ideal, it’s clear they’ve got the depth to keep rolling.
For now, the big question is how quickly Freeman can shake off this latest setback. With a long season ahead, the Dodgers will probably play it safe, but if you know Freeman, he’s already itching to get back on the field. The only thing standing in his way? A swollen ankle—and maybe some extra caution when stepping into the shower next time.
