Claiming third straight start Freeman will start at second base and bat sixth Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Freeman will draw his third consecutive start at the keystone and appears to have at least temporarily emerged as the Rangers' preferred option at the position over Ezequiel Duran, with Josh Smith having shifted over from second base to cover shortstop in the absence of Corey Seager (appendectomy). Since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 17, Freeman is slashing .250/.282/.444 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and five runs over 12 games.

Swats second homer Freeman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Freeman has filled a short-side platoon role at second base since Marcus Semien (foot) exited the lineup, though he was in the lineup versus a right-hander (Ryne Nelson) in this contest. Freeman is batting .225 over his first 15 major-league games, adding two homers, seven RBI, two doubles, six runs scored and no stolen bases over 42 plate appearances. He'll need to find more consistency at the plate to carve out a larger role even with the absences of Semien and Corey Seager (appendectomy).

Corbin shines, Seager hits 20th homer as Rangers beat Angels 7-3

AUGUST 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Losing work to Jung at 3B Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact The right-handed-hitting Freeman will head to the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Gavin Williams). The Rangers appeared to be giving Freeman a look as their primary third baseman, but Josh Jung will occupy the position for the third straight game and may have re-emerged as the team's preferred option. Freeman is capable of playing multiple infield and outfield spots and should have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching while the Rangers navigate injuries to Evan Carter (wrist), Jake Burger (wrist), Marcus Semien (foot) and Sam Haggerty (ankle).
