2025 Fantasy Outlook
Freeman spent spring training auditioning to break camp as the Guardians starting shortstop or center fielder, winning the job as the latter. He played regularly for the first three months, posting a .631 OPS, then began losing playing time in July. Declining action escalated until Freeman was sent to Triple-A in mid-September. Freeman provided plus defense in center field, but after acquiring Lane Thomas and the emergence of Jhonkensy Noel, Freeman became an expendable spare part. His strikeout rate is excellent in the 93rd percentile, but Freeman's quality of contact is poor, and last season's 38 percent fly ball rate was ill timed with the dead baseball. Freeman is best suited as a reserve, able to play in the infield and outfield. There's some AL-only value there, but even if he garners multiple eligibility, Freeman doesn't make the mixed league cut. Read Past Outlooks
Removed from ALDS roster
The Guardians removed Freeman from their ALDS roster Monday due to a strained left oblique.
ANALYSIS
Freeman suffered the injury during a recent simulated game. He will not be eligible for the ALCS, should the Guardians advance. Freeman could return for the World Series, although it's unclear whether he'll be healthy enough to do so. Angel Martinez will take over Freeman's spot on the active roster.

Freeman faces a make-or-break season in 2024 -- his final option year. After debuting in 2022, he was called up in mid-April last season only to hurt his shoulder in his first game with the big club. He would end up missing time in the second half with soreness in the other shoulder. Around the IL stint, Freeman struggled to a .594 OPS in the second half. While he's shown decent bat-to-ball skills in the big leagues, the extra-base power has been lacking (.339 SLG). His baserunning is a positive, and his potential should at least keep him on fantasy watch lists. Once a well-regarded prospect, Freeman has essentially performed at a replacement level in 88 career games to date, according to FanGraphs' WAR. He's trying to make the roster this spring as a utility option for the Guardians.
