Freeman went 2-for-3 with one run in Friday's 11-10 Cactus League win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman continues battling Guillermo Heredia and Shawn O'Malley for the utility role, and all three players have turned in solid (O'Malley) to outstanding (Heredia) to date. Freeman lands in the middle of both in terms of his performance at the plate, as he's slashed /300/.333/.350 with a double, four RBI, a walk and a run over 20 at-bats. He did commit an error at second Friday, his third of the spring. The competition figures to continue for the balance of spring, with Freeman likely headed to Triple-A Tacoma to start the 2017 campaign if he falls short of a major league roster spot.
