Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman leaves a game after a fall near the dugout at Dodger Stadium. During the top of the eighth inning on Wednesday night, Freeman is tracking a pop-up or foul ball in foul territory when he loses his footing at the edge of the visiting dugout stairs and falls into the dugout area.
Multiple outlets report that Freeman remains on the field at least briefly after the incident. Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Sports - MLB say he stays in the game and completes the inning, but is later removed. New York Post reports he ultimately exits, and Yahoo Sports specifies that he is taken out for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the eighth. All accounts describe the incident as a fall tied to Freeman’s attempt to chase the ball near the dugout stairs.
