The Royals released Freeman from his minor-league contract Wednesday. Freeman was removed from Triple-A Omaha's roster so the organization could clear a spot for catcher Jakson Reetz, who was assigned to the affiliate after reaching a minor-league deal with Kansas City. Prior to being cut loose, the 35-year-old lefty reliever posted a 1.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 32:21 K:BB across 36 innings for Omaha.

Freeman (undisclosed) allowed a hit and a walk with a strikeout in one inning versus Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. Freeman missed most of May with the undisclosed injury. The 34-year-old hasn't appeared at the major-league level since he logged seven outings with the Nationals in 2020, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of 2022 with Triple-A Omaha.

Freeman (undisclosed) is listed on the 7-day minor-league injured list at Triple-A Omaha. Freeman is in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, and he's pitched well at Omaha. He has not allowed an earned run over seven innings, yielding just two hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. The nature of his injury is unknown, as is his recovery timeline.

Freeman (elbow) pitched one-third of an inning in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Rockies. Freeman entered the game after Arodys Vizcaino got into trouble in the fourth inning, and he was able to escape without further damage. Freeman has been out of action since September of 2020 when he underwent Tommy John surgery. The 34-year-old southpaw is on a minor-league deal with the Royals, so he's likely to see at least some time with Triple-A Omaha now that he's cleared of his surgery recovery.

Freeman (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Thursday. Freeman missed the entire 2021 campaign after he underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2020, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be ready to pitch during spring training. The southpaw logged just seven innings in the majors between the 2019 and 2020 campaigns, but he could still compete for a big-league roster spot once healthy.
