Freddie Freeman's performance with the Los Angeles Dodgers is currently affected by an ankle injury sustained towards the end of the 2024 season, requiring offseason surgery. After a brief absence from the lineup, he returned in late March 2025 but encountered a setback that put him on the injured list. To manage his condition, Freeman may require additional rest, particularly during the ongoing road trip. While heâs eager to play, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts emphasizes precaution, especially regarding base stealing, to prevent further complications.
Freeman has acknowledged that even though he hates sitting out games, he may need to take more rest days during the season to manage his ankle.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated, 'I know he expects to [play], which is a good thing. I do expect him to play three in Atlanta, and then I do expect him to play four in Arizona.'
While Freeman feels capable of running the bases without concern, the Dodgers will prioritize caution over risk as he continues to recover from his ankle injury.
The Dodgers are considering giving Freeman a day or two off during the Miami Marlins series to ensure he is rested before facing tougher opponents.
