sprained

World Series MVP Freddie Freeman received some of the loudest cheers, after playing through a sprained ankle and rib injury throughout the postseason.

After suffering a sprained ankle in September, the 35-year-old has had intensive treatment, sometimes up to three hours a day, to stay in contention.

Freeman beat out a potential double play — while still running on his sprained right ankle — to get another run across.

Pointing to how Freeman played through a sprained ankle, Ohtani explained that he simply did what many of his teammates have done.

Herbert, who has been nursing a sprained right ankle for more than a month, motioned about the transgression to the referee, who threw a flag for roughing the passer.
