Freeman went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The multi-hit effort was Freeman's first since July 9, though is playing time has been limited. The 24-year-old infielder has gone 9-for-40 (.225) over 17 games in September while swatting two of his three homers for the season. He's batting .242 with a .645 OPS, five stolen bases, 17 RBI and 19 runs scored through 62 contests overall.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman got the Guardians on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the second to score Ramon Laureano and later came around to score the team's second run after stealing second. It was only the third baseman's seventh hit this month, where he's now batting .200 with six RBI, four runs scored and two stolen bases.

Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 20-6 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman has homered twice over his last four games, though that's in a stretch dating back to Aug. 26. The young infielder isn't seeing steady playing time as the Guardians instead lean on veterans while trying to compete for the AL Central lead. Freeman has added nine RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases while slashing .238/.306/.354 over 126 plate appearances this season.

Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at third base and batting seventh, Freeman hooked a slow curve from Hyun Jin Ryu over the wall in left field in the fifth inning for his first career homer in the majors. The 24-year-old seems to be settling into a short-side platoon role all over the infield, but since returning from the IL in mid-August he's gone just 2-for-20 with six strikeouts.

Freeman (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman missed the last two weeks of action with a shoulder issue. Brayan Rocchio and Gabriel Arias have been seeing action at shortstop for the Guardians since the Amed Rosario trade, but Freeman could be worked into the mix.

Freeman (shoulder) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman has been out of action for just over a week with shoulder soreness that first popped up Aug. 1 versus the Astros. The fact that he's already set for a rehab assignment is a positive sign that he could be activated when first eligible. What's less clear is where Freeman might fit in the Guardians' infield once he returns, as Brayan Rocchio and Gabriel Arias have both enjoyed some success with more playing time in recent weeks.

Cleveland placed Freeman on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to August 2, with right shoulder soreness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's no exact diagnosis yet, but Freeman will be sidelined until at least next weekend. Jose Tena is joining the Guardians on Friday and they have also acquired Kole Calhoun in a minor-league trade with the Dodgers.

Freeman wasn't available for Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Astros due to a sore right shoulder, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman picked up the injury in Tuesday's 2-0 loss, when his shoulder acted up as he grounded out in the fourth inning. He stayed in the game for the bottom of the fourth before being replaced by Andres Gimenez in the field in the next inning. Follow-up exams on Freeman reportedly were encouraging, so he could be ready to play at some point during this weekend's series with the White Sox. The Guardians have an opening at shortstop after trading away Amed Rosario last week, but the team has thus far favored Gabriel Arias as the primary option at the position, and top prospect Brayan Rocchio was just called up Wednesday.

Freeman went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman notched multiple hits and a steal for his second straight start; however, his playing time remains sparse and his only path to a more consistent role seems to be if someone ahead of him gets injured. The 24-year-old has done well when given an opportunity and is now slashing .308/.352/.400 with six extra-base hits, four RBI, 11 runs, three steals and a 4:11 BB:K in 72 plate appearances.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman has hit safely in just four of his last 11 games, with each of those instances being multi-hit efforts. He's stuck behind Jose Ramirez, Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez for playing time in Cleveland's infield, but Freeman has made the most of his recent chances. For the season, he's batting .290 with a .715 OPS, four RBI, two steals, 10 runs scored, six doubles and no home runs over 68 plate appearances.
