  "summary": "Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was injured during a game against the Kansas City Royals when he fell into the Royals' dugout while attempting to catch a foul pop-up in the eighth inning. The incident occurred when Royals left fielder Isaac Collins hit a pop-up into foul territory on the first base side, and Freeman, trying to catch it, found himself right at the opening in the dugout without a railing. He tumbled down the steps and remained in the game to finish the inning on defense. However, he was subsequently pinch-hit for by Tommy Edman in the bottom of the eighth inning, with Kiké Hernández taking over at first base in the ninth.",
