The 2024 season of the Los Angeles Dodgers star, Freddie Freeman, ended with the highest notes, but 2025 has already had a slippery start for the MVP of the World Series.
Freeman lost Monday night against the Atlanta Braves after he realized the shower and hurt his right ankle surgically repaired. He suffered the setback at home and arrived at the Free Day Stadium on Sunday to receive treatment.

“He had a small accident entering the shower,” said Manager Dave Roberts. “A little fan.”
Roberts said that Freeman’s ankle was not exactly 100% before the accident, but still left the door with two homers and four ranges promoted to start the year when the team was in Tokyo.

“He feels that he could leave and play, but let him recover today and we’ll see what it is tomorrow,” Roberts said. “For the most part, he is always kicking and screaming (to play).”
Freeman played the entire MLB postseason with an adjusted ankle after it twisted it at the end of September. However, he became life against the New York Yankees and delivered one of the most epic performances of the World Series in recent memory.
The first base underwent debridement surgery in December to remove loose bodies in the ankle.

Freeman was an All-Star for the sixth time in seven seasons. MLB did not have a star game during the 2020 season. He had 22 home runs and 89 races promoted in 147 games for the Dodgers last season.
