Freddie Freeman Injury Update: World Series MVP shares positive news about ankle injury, eyes Spring Training return (Imagn)
Freddie Freeman dealt with an ankle sprain throughout the postseason. He missed some games, but eventually got healthy enough to play all World Series games and win MVP. He dominated on that faulty right ankle and has just undergone surgery to fix the issue for next season, the Dodgers announced on Thursday.
The slugger somehow performed at a historic level despite the injury. Normal ankle sprains don’t usually require surgery; rather, they just need time to heal. However, Freeman’s was bad enough that he had to have a doctor fix it. Fortunately, it was a successful operation.

He captioned it:
“Everything went great. Can’t wait to be back on the field soon.”
Moderate ankle surgeries can take up to six weeks to heal. Major ankle surgeries can take up to six months to recover from.
It’s unclear what type of surgery Freeman needed, but he is not in jeopardy of missing any time during the 2025 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
In the 2024 postseason, Freeman hit .250 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 13 games. In the World Series against the Yankees, the 2020 NL MVP put up a .300/.364/.1000 line.
His four postseason homers came in the World Series (consecutively between Game 1 and Game 4).
Dodgers provide interesting timeline update on Freddie Freeman
Los Angeles Dodgers star, 2024 World Series MVP, and now-infamous New York Yankees killer Freddie Freeman had successful surgery on his ankle. He is now in a walking boot and is expected to be in one for some time.

The Dodgers announced that the surgery was for some debridement and the removal of loose bodies in his ankle which may have happened because he hardly missed any time after suffering the injury.
The team stated that Dr. Kenneth Jung performed the operation at Kerlan Jobe in Los Angeles. They also said that they fully expect Freeman to be able to “participate in baseball activities when the team reports to Spring Training in early February,” according to MLB.
That terminology is interesting and doesn’t imply that Freeman will be able to play Spring Training games, just that he will be able to do things such as swing off a tee and field ground balls.
As of now, there’s no reason to doubt that he’ll be ready by the time Opening Day rolls around, but he might not play the first few spring games as he continues to recover.
