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.

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.

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.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact Freeman is out of the starting nine for a sixth straight contest to close out the regular season while he manages a sore back.
