Dodgers place Freddie Freeman on 10-day IL for his ailing ankle. He'll be eligible to return on April 10.

Dodgers go on a road trip to PHI and WAS til April 9, and start a 6-game homestand on April 11.

I suspect this IL stint is Dodgers' way of telling Freddie, "No, you're not playing on this road trip no matter how much you beg. Stay home and rest, PLEASE."
