Tyler Freeman - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Records three hits Thursday Freeman went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Astros.

Impact Freeman brought home the first run for the Rockies with an RBI groundout that scored Kyle Karros, but he would also add two more hits in the fifth and seventh innings. This snapped a 0-for-9 stretch for Freeman over his previous three games, and while he remains a part-time option in the Rockies' outfield, he's seeing the ball well. In 34 plate appearances since the beginning of April, Freeman is hitting .300 with a .682 OPS.

Cleared to rejoin lineup Wednesday Freeman (back) will start at designated hitter and will bat second in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Impact Freeman experienced lower-back tightness leading up to Sunday's 4-1 win over the Phillies, resulting in him being scratched from the lineup. He went unused off the bench in the first two games of the Rockies' series versus Houston, but after healing up from the back issue, Freeman will take back a spot in the starting nine in a non-defensive role. Now healthy, Freeman is likely to serve as a short-side platoon player for Colorado and will be an option at multiple infield and outfield spots.

Scratched with back tightness Freeman was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies due to lower-back tightness.

Impact The 26-year-old was scheduled to start in right field and bat second, but he'll instead remain on the bench. Freeman missed the start of the season due to lower-back inflammation, and it's expected to be an injury he contends without throughout the campaign.

Knocks in game winner Freeman went 1-for-1 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Freeman was activated from the injured list before Wednesday's game, though he wasn't in the starting lineup. He entered the contest as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning and drove in the game-winning run with a single. Freeman figures to occupy a utility role while only earning sporadic plate appearances.

Returns from IL The Rockies reinstated Freeman (back) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Freeman spent the minimum length of time on the shelf after the Rockies deactivated him prior to Opening Day while he recovered from lower-back inflammation. The 26-year-old didn't complete a rehab assignment prior to returning from the shelf, but he was able to get in some live at-bats during batting practice in Toronto the past two days, per MLB.com. Freeman is expected to fill a super-utility role for Colorado and should be a mainstay in the lineup against left-handed pitching while playing semi-regularly against right-handed pitching.

Move to IL official The Rockies placed Freeman (back) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Freeman is without a definitive timeline to return from the IL, though manager Warren Schaeffer doesn't believe the 26-year-old will require an extended stay on the shelf, per MLB.com. Once he's activated, Freeman is likely to serve as a super-utility player for Colorado.

Goes on IL with back inflammation The Rockies placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with lower-back inflammation, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Freeman didn't make his Cactus League debut until March 5 due to back problems and he encountered a setback last week. While he does not appear to have any structural damage in his back, the fact that the injury has lingered for so long could point to longer than a minimum stay on the IL. Once healthy, Freeman projects for a super utility role in Colorado.

Could begin season on IL Freeman (back) remains sidelined and could begin the 2026 season on the injured list, MLB.com reports.

Impact Freeman was scratched with back tightness Wednesday and has yet to return to action. His status is still ambiguous, though he'll likely need to get back on the field for a Cactus League game to have a chance to avoid the injured list to begin the regular season.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with back tightness Freeman was scratched from Wednesday's Cactus League lineup against the Reds due to lower-back tightness.

Impact With Freeman idle for Wednesday's exhibition, Cole Carrigg will enter the lineup in center field and bat second, while leadoff man Jake McCarthy moves to left field. Freeman has an .840 OPS across 25 plate appearances this spring. Consider him day-to-day.

Cleared for Cactus League debut Freeman (back) is starting in right field and batting second in Thursday's Cactus League tilt against the Brewers.

Impact Freeman came to Rockies camp with a lower-back strain and is finally ready for game action after ramping up his activities. The 26-year-old is in line to fill a utility role in Colorado this season after slashing .281/.354/.361 with two home runs and 18 stolen bases in 2025.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Doing on-field work Freeman (back) has progressed to on-field workouts, Thomas Harding of MLB.comreports.

Impact Freeman is being eased into things this spring after reporting to Rockies camp with a lower-back strain. It's not clear when the utility player might be ready to play in Cactus League contests, but Freeman should have time to ramp up for Opening Day as long as he can avoid setbacks.
