Freeman was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with a left shoulder strain Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman missed nearly a month with the same injury in late June and early July, and he went 5-for-17 with three doubles, three runs and a walk in five games at Double-A Akron since returning from the injured list. However, it's not yet clear how much time he'll miss after the issue apparently flared up recently.
