Tyler Freeman - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

Nursing back issue Freeman has been slowed early on in Rockies camp by back soreness, MLB.com reports.

Impact Freeman was given an anti-inflammatory injection weeks before camp opened and the hope is that he will be cleared for full activities soon. The 26-year-old slashed .281/.354/.361 with two home runs and 18 stolen bases for Colorado in 2025 and, assuming health, appears slated for a utility role in 2026.

Viewed more as outfielder Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta said recently of Freeman that "we still see him as an outfielder" who "complements Jake (McCarthy) and Mickey (Moniak)," Tho...

Impact DePodesta also noted of Freeman that they "really value his versatility and think that he can play in multiple spots," but DePodesta's comments on the whole suggest that the Rockies don't view Freeman as a candidate to take on an everyday role in the infield. At minimum, it sounds like Freeman will be part of a short-side platoon in the outfield with McCarthy and/or Moniak, but his role against right-handed pitching could be less stable. Freeman slashed .281/.354/.361 with two home runs and 18 stolen bases for Colorado in 2025, drawing 60 starts in right field, 26 starts at designated hitter and 12 starts at second base.

Avoids arbitration with Rockies The Rockies and Freeman avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.

Impact The financial particulars of the deal aren't clear, but Freeman will get a raise in his first year of arbitration eligibility. Freeman had a nice first season in Colorado, slashing .281/.354/.361 with two homers and 18 steals over 110 games. He should play regularly in 2026, possibly bouncing around to multiple positions.

Hunter Goodman will get another start as Colorado's DH while Braxton Fulford starts behind the plate.

Impact The Rockies haven't offered any details regarding the severity of Freeman's injury, but it will be enough to prevent him from playing Tuesday. Kyle Farmer will replace him as Colorado's designated hitter and bat eighth.

Picking up steam recently Freeman went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

Impact Freeman is heating up at the plate -- he now has at least one hit in six of his last seven games. The utility man got off to a fast start this season, turning in an .878 OPS through July 9, but his production has tapered off considerably ever since. Over his last 58 games (250 plate appearances), Freeman is slashing .244/.310/.307 with 11 extra-base hits, 18 RBI and six stolen bases to drop his OPS to .723 for the year.

He has split much of his recent playing time between right field and second base.
