Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers' star first baseman, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right ankle sprain sustained from slipping in the shower. His IL placement is retroactive to March 31, allowing him to return shortly. Freeman's recent history includes playing through an injury during last year's playoffs, and despite this setback, the Dodgers remain undefeated at 8-0, showing their ability to handle short-term absences effectively. Enrique Hernández stepped in at first base while the team awaits Freeman's return.
The placement is retroactive to March 31, so Freeman will be eligible to return a week from today.
Freeman tweaked his ankle when he slipped in the shower, which has led to his first IL stint in recent years.
Despite the injury, the Dodgers are off to a great start this season, currently undefeated at 8-0.
The team has enough talent to manage Freeman's likely short-term absence without significant issues.
