Freeman was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets with an apparent injury, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander recorded two outs and issued a walk on 14 pitches before showing some discomfort and calling for the athletic trainer. Freeman hasn't allowed a run through five innings this season, but it's unclear when he'll next be able to take the mound.

The Nationals selected Freeman's contract Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction moves Freeman onto the 40-man roster and locks him in on the 30-man Opening Day roster. Over 264 career big-league appearances, the 33-year-old reliever has posted a 3.62 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and an 8.9 K/9.

Freeman has been added to the Nationals' 60-man player pool, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran southpaw will provide some bullpen depth for the Nats. Freeman's last real success in the majors came in 2017 for Atlanta, and for his career he sports a 3.62 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 226:129 K:BB over 228.2 innings.

Freeman signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Wednesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman has spent most of the season in the minors, posting a 7.01 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 42:29 K:BB across 52.2 innings with Triple-A Salt Lake. The lefty owns a career 3.62 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across parts of eight big-league seasons (228.2 innings) and will serve as bullpen depth for the Nationals.

Freeman cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake.
EDGE Analysis
Following a messy performance Tuesday against the Yankees, the Angels designated Freeman for assignment. The 31-year-old has a 3.61 ERA in 226.2 career innings, but he'll have to prove himself again in the minors before returning to the big leagues.

Freeman was designated for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman gave up one run on two walks and three hits including a home run to Luke Voit in the top of the eighth inning in Tuesday's game against the Yankees. The Angels acquired Freeman after he was released by Atlanta at the end of March. In a corresponding move, Matt Ramsey's contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Freeman's contract was selected by the Angels on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman signed a minor-league contract with the Angels in late March. The 31-year-old recorded a mediocre 4.29 ERA with the Braves last season but owns a solid 3.61 ERA over his seven-year big-league career. Luke Bard was optioned to make room for him on the 25-man roster, though a move to open a spot on the 40-man roster has not yet been announced.

Freeman agreed to a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman failed to earn a roster spot with the Braves this spring and had to settle for a minor-league deal. With a 3.61 ERA in 226.2 career innings, the veteran lefty should be at least a capable option for the Angels when injuries open up a bullpen spot.

Freeman was released by the Braves on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves outrighted Freeman to Triple-A on Thursday, but the two sides evidently elected to part ways entirely. The veteran lefty has a 3.61 ERA in parts of seven big-league seasons, which should give him a decent shot at finding a roster spot elsewhere.

Freeman was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Freeman posted a lackluster 4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB through eight innings this spring, resulting in his removal from the Braves' 40-man roster ahead of the season. The southpaw will provide bullpen depth for Atlanta.
