Freeman went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 extra-innings win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old took aim at the Green Monster in Fenway Park, sending his second homer of the year over it in the fifth inning against Joely Rodriguez before beginning a game-tying rally in the ninth with a double off the left-field landmark. Freeman has struggled at the plate overall to begin his first full season in the majors, and through 14 games he's slashing .184/.241/.347 with two steals, seven runs and eight RBI while playing nearly every day in center field.

Freeman isn't in the Guardians' lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

After going 0-for-4 with an RBI en route to a loss in Saturday's first game, Freeman will retreat to the bench for Game 2. While he rests, Steven Kwan, Ramon Laureano and Estevan Florial will start across Cleveland's outfield.

Freeman isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman has now started nine of 12 contests in center field this season for the Guardians, but he'll take a seat for the series finale with the White Sox. Ramon Laureano will patrol center in Freeman's stead.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman is playing fairly regularly as the Guardians' preferred center fielder, though Ramon Laureano and Estevan Florial have also seen some time there. The steal was Freeman's second of the campaign. He's hit safely in five of eight contests, batting just .194 with a home run, five RBI, four runs scored and a double over 35 plate appearances. Freeman is not established enough in a starting role to be able to afford a dry spell at the plate, though neither Laureano (.222) nor Florial (.182) has pressed the issue yet.

Freeman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

He'll give way to Estevan Florial in center field after starting in five of the Guardians' first six games of the season while hitting .211 with a home run and a stolen base.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman brought the Guardians to within two runs with his sixth-inning solo blast, but his team ultimately fell short. The long ball was the first of the campaign for the 24-year-old, who never hit more than six homers over a season in the minors. Freeman is better known for his speed and bat-to-ball ability, and he's attempting to use that skill set to hold down a near-everyday role in center field after playing mostly in the infield as a minor-leaguer.

Freeman went 1-for-5 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Platoons are emerging in right field and at designated hitter, but the right-handed Freeman has started all three games in center field so far. He's done fairly well, going 3-for-12 with two RBI, two walks, two runs scored and one steal on two attempts. It's not enough to say confidently he'll be the starter in center all season -- the Athletics are a soft season-opening series for a Guardians team trying to figure out its best alignment. Still, it's encouraging Freeman is getting early at-bats, though he's yet to excel in any one area. Should Freeman stumble, Estevan Florial represents a possible platoon partner.

Freeman will be on the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman's defensive versatility likely played a big part in making the roster, as he hit a modest .286 with a .784 OPS over 11 Cactus League games. The 24-year-old provides cover around the infield and also saw ample playing time in center field during spring training. Center is one of the weak spots in the Guardians' lineup, which has already seen Myles Straw waived and unlikely to make the major-league roster. The left-handed Estevan Florial and right-handed Ramon Laureano could also see time in center -- Freeman also bats right, so a favorable platoon situation is unlikely.

Freeman has gone 4-for-14 over six Cactus League games.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman has a home run, three RBI and two stolen bases so far this spring. A natural infielder, Freeman is blocked by Jose Ramirez at third base (his natural position) and Andres Gimenez at second base. Shortstop remains wide open, and Freeman is also getting looks in center field this spring, where he's competing with Myles Straw and Estevan Florial. Versatility should be a boon for Freeman's quest to begin 2024 in the majors even if he has to settle for a short-side platoon role.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman homered twice over his last four games of the season, giving him four long balls on the year. The infielder also posted a .242/.295/.366 slash line over 168 plate appearances. He added 18 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases, and he should have a chance to compete for a larger role in spring training next year.
