It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 24-year-old infielder. Freeman, a fourth-round selection by the Rangers from the 2019 draft class, had been hitting a blistering .315/.367/.494 with 12 homers, 54 RBI, eight stolen bases and a 31/28 K/BB ratio over 350 plate appearances at the Triple-A level. It’ll be interesting to see how much playing time he’s able to carve out with the Rangers or if he’s simply relegated to a bench role. He is not in the lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Tigers.

Freeman is now hitting .312/.360/.494 in 67 games at Triple-A with 10 home runs and six steals. He has cut his strikeout rate in half this season by not focusing so much on pulling the ball and making better swing decisions. He has an impressive 89 percent contact rate and a minuscule 5.1 percent swinging strike rate. The former fourth-round pick may be a better option than Justin Foscue to fill in at the hot corner with Jake Burger (oblique) on the IL.
