Dodgers superstar out of lineup vs. Braves after shower ‘mishap’

All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman was not in the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 6-1 win Monday night against his former team, the Atlanta Braves, after aggravating his surgically repaired right ankle in what the team called a shower ‘mishap.’

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters before Monday night’s game that Freeman’s ‘mishap’ happened as he entered the shower at his home on Saturday, and he experienced swelling in the ankle afterward. Roberts said that Freeman will be day-to-day as he recovers from the accident.

Freeman had suffered a right ankle injury in late September of last season. He missed two of the last three games of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets due to the ankle injury. However, he played through the discomfort in the World Series, hitting a dramatic walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series against the New York Yankees. Freeman was named World Series MVP after helping the Dodgers win their first championship since 2020 (and first in a full season since 1988).

Freeman had surgery on his right ankle in December and was limited in spring training.

Freeman did not play in the Dodgers’ two games in Japan against the Chicago Cubs on March 18-19 with an unrelated injury. But, he played in all three games — hitting two home runs in 12 at bats — as the Dodgers swept the Detroit Tigers over the weekend.

With Freeman out of the lineup Monday night, utility player Kiké Hernández played first base. Hernández went 1 for 4 with a home run, his second of the 2025 season.
