• Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Lands on 10-day IL

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The Rockies placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain. Freeman was initially included in the Rockies' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, but he was scratched after tweaking his oblique in the batting cage. Further tests revealed a strain, and the injury is severe enough to warrant a stint on the injured list. To shore up their infield depth, the Rockies recalled Adael Amador from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

• Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Nursing sore wrist

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Freeman is tending to a sore left wrist after being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning of Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Rays, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. Making his first start of the season Sunday, Freeman played second base and grounded out in his first at-bat in the top of the third inning before taking his base on the hit-by-pitch in the sixth. Freeman came around to score a game-tying run and then went back out in the field for the bottom of the sixth, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter the next time his turn in the batting order came up in the top of the seventh. Fortunately for Freeman, X-rays on his wrist came back negative, but he's considered day-to-day while he waits for the soreness and swelling to subside. Kyle Farmer will start at second base in Monday's series opener in Philadelphia.

• Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Headed to Colorado

  Freeman was traded from the Guardians to the Rockies on Saturday in exchange for Nolan Jones, SI.com reports. Freeman was in competition for playing time at second base with Cleveland this spring and maintained an impressive 1.080 OPS across 39 at-bats -- including eight extra-base hits. He's struggled to turn his contact-heavy approach at the plate into meaningful big-league production in partial playing time across the last three campaigns, but playing at Coors Field could help him turn a corner. Freeman should get regular run at second base to begin the 2025 season with Thairo Estrada (wrist) sidelined, and he could also fill a small-side platoon in left field.
