Cody Freeman - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Requires surgery for herniated disc Freeman underwent surgery June 29 to repair a herniated disc in his neck, MLB.com reports.

Before landing on the injured list June 25, Freeman appeared in just seven games for the Rangers and went 4-for-17 with a 1:5 BB:K and one run.

Returns to majors Texas recalled Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact Freeman previously had a short stint with the Rangers in early June and got into one game, going 1-for-2 with a strikeout against St. Louis on June 3. He's now back with the big club to take the 26-man roster spot vacated by Evan Carter, who landed on the IL with an oblique strain in a corresponding move. Freeman probably won't see everyday at-bats, but he's starting at second base Saturday and gives the Rangers a versatile option who can play multiple positions in both the infield and outfield.

Back with big club The Rangers recalled Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Freeman was optioned last week after completing his rehab from a lower-back fracture, but he will rejoin the Rangers now as a roster replacement for Sam Haggerty (bereavement). The 25-year-old Freeman homered twice and reached base nine times over his last three games with Round Rock. Freeman could be sent back down later this week when Haggerty returns.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned to Round Rock The Rangers reinstated Freeman (back) from the injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

Impact Freeman has been sidelined by a lower-back fracture since spring training but began playing in rehab games May 14. Since then, he's slashed .161/.194/.194 with five RBI and eight runs scored over nine games between the Arizona Complex League, Double-A and Triple-A. He'll stay put at Round Rock now that he's been given a clean bill of health, and he'll likely need to turn things around offensively before the Rangers begin to consider adding him to their major-league roster.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab moves to Frisco Freeman (back) moved his rehab from the Arizona Complex League to Double-A Frisco, MLB.com reports.

Ready for rehab assignment Freeman (back) will begin a rehab assignment with the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate Thursday.

Impact Freeman missed most of spring training due to a stress reaction in his lower back but has been cleared for games after a long rehab process. Because he's been sidelined for so long, Freeman's rehab assignment could last a while. When the Rangers decide the 25-year-old is ready to rejoin the active roster, he'll fill a utility role.

Suffers back fracture Freeman was diagnosed with a lower-back fracture Saturday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Freeman will remain sidelined for 4-6 weeks before the Rangers reevaluate him, which will almost certainly cause him to miss the entire Cactus League schedule and could force him to begin the regular season on the injured list. The 25-year-old infielder had been in the running to land a spot on the Rangers' bench, but his injury will open the door for other players like Ezequiel Duran, Sam Haggerty and Justin Foscue to pick up reps during spring training games.
