Summary
Freeman said he avoided a serious injury after tumbling down the visitors dugout stairs in the eighth inning, though he remains sore and uncertain for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.
No head injury or broken bones were apparent after the fall, which happened when Freeman misjudged the railing while tracking Isaac Collins' foul popup.
The 36-year-old stayed in the game through the top of the eighth before Tommy Edman pinch hit for him, and Los Angeles finished a 4-2 win over Kansas City.
Dave Roberts called the scene "very scary visually" and said the Dodgers "dodged a bullet" as the club prepares for a four-game series against the MLB-leading Brewers.
