Dugout Stairs

Freddie Freeman escapes injury after scary fall down Dodgers dugout stairs

Freddie Freeman tumbled down the dugout stairs while chasing a foul ball at Dodger Stadium, left the game briefly but returned to finish the inning, reporting only general soreness and no head injury after declining an X-ray; he remained hopeful about playing next day as the Dodgers beat the Royals 4-2 to complete a sweep, with Betts, Ohtani and Feduccia homering and solid work from Lauer and Knack.
