Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman suffered a serious scare in Wednesday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals.

Freeman was gathering himself underneath a pop fly in the top of the eighth inning and appeared to lose track of where he was in foul territory. As he tried to make the catch, he found himself tumbling down the Royals’ dugout steps in a scary fall.

Freeman’s Dodgers teammates, Royals players and trainers rushed over to him to make sure he was OK. He received a standing ovation as he walked back up the steps and onto the field. He later left the game as the Dodgers wrapped up a 4-2 victory.

"I didn't hit my head, so that was the key part there," Freeman told reporters after the game. "I am sore. Kneecaps are sore. Shoulder is sore. Hand sore. Wrist sore. I mean, I fell. (But) I'm in good spirits."

He said he mistracked where the dugout railing was when he was trying to catch Isaac Collins’ pop-up.
