The Los Angeles Dodgers activated Slugger Freddie Freeman of the Intinure list on Friday Apter, he missed nine games with a right ankle injury found by sliding at home in the shower.
Freeman said that an MRI showed the scar tissue in his surgically repaired ankle, but he was back to current bases a few days ago.
“I hate to say it, but I need the 10 days,” said Freeman, who hates the missing of games. “I feel the best that I have felt since I was injured.”
The 35-Yare-old First Honkman was in fourth place in the series opener against the Chicago Cubs on his Boblehead Night. Charlie Freeman, the oldest of the three sons of Freeman, was due to a ceremonial first throw. The 8-year-old has a locker next to his father in the Dodgers-Clubhuis.
The World Series MVP has played in just three games so far. He missed the opening series against the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo with left rib discomfort and was the three-game series of last week against his old team, the Atlanta Braves. Freeman has beaten .250 with two ruins for home and four RBI.
The shower incident came.
Freeman slid out and fell into what a “freak stranded on March 30
It was another accident that sprains the same single Freeman on a play on first base in the late Sepernber. I stuged in the first two rounds of the late season, but it was hardly clear during the World Series. I am at home in the first four games and had 12 RBIs because the Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees in five games.
He was undergoing debridement operation in December to remove loose bodies in the ankle.
Utility Kike Hernandez first filled in during the absence of Freeman.
“When you lose Freddie to have a filling like Kiki Han Hge for us,” said Dave Roberts manager. “Certainly when preventing Rons and the defensive play.”
Freeman said he feels good enough to steal.
But he doesn’t have the green light.
“No,” said Roberts. “It’s so red that it can be, fire engine red.”
