Freese (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freese has missed the last three games with the injury and it doesn't appear to be improving quick enough for the team's liking. The veteran third baseman will take some time to get back to full health, meaning Josh Harrison will likely continue seeing time at the hot corner while the Pirates shuffle options at second base. Outfielder Danny Ortiz was called up in a corresponding move to provide bench additional depth.
