• Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Removed from ALDS roster

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Guardians removed Freeman from their ALDS roster Monday due to a strained left oblique. Freeman suffered the injury during a recent simulated game. He will not be eligible for the ALCS, should the Guardians advance. Freeman could potentially return for the World Series, although it's unclear whether he'll be healthy enough to do so. Angel Martinez will take over Freeman's roster spot.

• Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Brought up for ALDS

  Freeman is included on the Guardians' roster for the ALDS versus Detroit. Freeman ended the regular season in the minors after struggling to a .209/.305/.321 slash line throughout the campaign. His inclusion on the ALDS roster gives Cleveland added versatility, as Freeman made at least one start at second base, third base, shortstop and center field this season. Freeman also gives the team speed off the bench -- he stole 11 bags in 17 attempts during the campaign.

  Freeman was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. Freeman had been in Cleveland's lineup just once since Aug. 26, a span of 17 games. Across 383 total plate appearances with the Guardians this season, he's managed just a .209 average and .626 OPS. Angel Martinez was recalled to take Freeman's spot on the big-league roster.

• Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Swipes bag off bench

  Freeman logged a stolen base as a pinch runner in Friday's 10-8 win over the Guardians. Freeman ran for Josh Naylor, who exited the game with a bruised ankle in the eighth inning. The steal was Freeman's first in a month, though a lack of playing time is partially to blame for that. He's seen action in 19 August contests, going a putrid 2-for-35 (.057) but getting plunked four times. Freeman is at a .206/.304/.320 slash line with 11 steals, seven home runs, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, 14 doubles and a triple over 112 contests this season. The 25-year-old's slump has relegated him to a short-side platoon role at shortstop, and his playing time could shrink further depending on which players the Guardians call up when rosters expand Sunday.

• Guardians' Tyler Freeman: Heading to bench for early game

  08/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Freeman is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks. Freeman had started in center field in both of the Guardians' last two matchups with right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat for the first game of the day while Arizona sends righty Brandon Pfaadt to the mound. Angel Martinez will get the nod in center field for the early game, but expect the right-handed-hitting Freeman to join the starting nine for the nightcap, when the Guardians face lefty Eduardo Rodriguez.
