Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman took a frightening tumble down the stairs and into the visitors’ dugout while trying to catch a foul popup in the eighth inning. Fortunately, he apparently avoided serious injury.
Freeman’s Close Call
Freeman isn’t sure whether he’ll play when the Dodgers begin an important four-game series with the MLB-leading Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday, but he’s grateful his freefall to the dugout floor wasn’t worse. “I didn’t hit my head, so that was the key part there,” Freeman said. “I am sore. Kneecaps are sore. Shoulder is sore. Hand sore. Wrist sore. I mean, I fell. (But) I’m in good spirits.”
The right side of Freeman’s body took the punishment, but the 2024 World Series MVP apparently didn’t break any bones. He’ll wait to see how he feels in the morning before he decides whether to play Thursday night when the back-to-back World Series champion Dodgers welcome Milwaukee in a rematch of last year’s National League Championship Series.
