“He had a small accident that came into the shower,” said manager Dave Roberts. “A kind of swollen a little.”
Roberts said Freeman’s ankle wasn’t exactly 100% before the accident, but he still got out of the gate with two home runs and four RBI to start the year when the team was in Tokyo.

“He feels he could go out there and play, but let him just come today, then we’ll see how he’s tomorrow,” Roberts said. “For the most part he always kicks and screams (to play).”
Freeman played the entire MLB post season with a fine -tuned ankle after he sprained it in late September. However, he came alive against New York Yankees and delivered one of the most epic world series performances in recent memory.
The first Baseman had debridement -surgery in December to remove loose bodies in his ankle.

Freeman was an all-star for the sixth time in seven seasons. MLB did not have an all-star game in the 2020 season. He had 22 home runs and 89 RBI in 147 games for Dodgers last season.
