The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated Freddie Freeman off the injured list after he missed nine games with a right ankle injury that resulted from slipping in the shower at home. Freeman says an MRI showed fraying of the scar tissue in his surgically repaired ankle, but he was back to running bases a few days ago. Freeman is loathe to miss any games but he says he might have needed the 10-day stint on the injury list. He is set to bat fourth in the series opener against the Chicago Cubs. The World Series MVP has played in just three games.
