The Los Angeles Dodgers will be without the first base of the star Freddie Freeman for at least another week due to an unusual injury.
Freeman played in the postseason the past fall in a bad right ankle that was surgically repaired shortly after the Dodgers won the World Series.
Freeman hurt the ankle again after slipping and fell into the shower at home.

“Accident lining, you really can’t invent it, crazy,” Freeman said earlier this week.
Freeman reinjected the ankle on Sunday, which was a day off for Los Angeles.
“In the middle of my coffee in the morning, I thought, ‘Oh, I took a shower to prepare for the day.’ And the next thing I know is that I am in the bathtub,” he said. “It is a great mental image if you want to think about it. Big Guy that falls throughout the place.”
Freeman’s wife and son could not help making fun of him, the first base joked.

Matt Strahm of the Philis asks that the pitchers use pine tar again in response to the madness of the torpedo.
“Chelsea actually made the joke, ‘I thought I was going to deal with this when you are 70 years old, not when you are 35 years old,” Freeman said.
The Bum ankle did not deter Freeman in October. He was appointed MVP of the World Series, driving in a record of 12 races (in just five games), four of which arrived in his Grand Slam in the game 1. also had two races promoted in the decisive factor and hit homers in each of the first four games of the series.
Freeman was grateful that the ankle injury is everything he is trying.
“It could have been much worse. I could have hit my head,” he said.
