US EditionJokes abound as Dodgers' Freddie Freeman misses 2nd game while recovering from shower slip and fall
- Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was held out of the lineup for the Monday night game against his former team, the Atlanta Braves, in Los Angeles.
- Freeman injured his surgically repaired right ankle at home over the weekend after slipping in the shower, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
- This is the second time Freeman has missed games since the regular season started, the first being when he experienced rib discomfort in Tokyo against the Chicago Cubs, an injury similar to one he sustained during the previous season's playoffs.
- Prior to the re-injury, Roberts noted that Freeman's ankle wasn't at 100%, despite Freeman's desire to play and his performance in the preceding series against the Detroit Tigers, where he went 3 for 12 with two home runs.
- Freeman, who had ankle surgery in December to remove loose bodies after initially injuring it on September 26th last season, is considered day-to-day, with Roberts planning to assess his condition for Tuesday's game.
