The Cleveland Guardians removed infielder Tyler Freeman (oblique) from the American League Division Series roster on Monday due to a strained left oblique and added utility man Angel Martinez to the roster to replace him. Freeman injured his oblique during a simulated game recently and now will be ineligible to play in the ALCS if the Guardians advance past the division-rival Detroit Tigers in the ALDS. The 25-year-old utility man was in his third year with Cleveland in 2024 and finished the regular season hitting just .209 (69-for-330) with a career-high seven home runs, 32 RBI, 11 steals and 48 runs scored in a career-high 118 games played. Martinez, 22, will serve in a bench role for the Guardians for the rest of the ALDS. The switch-hitter batted .232/.298/.338 with three homers and three stolen bases in 43 games in 2024.
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Tyler Freeman had four hits during Saturday's 11-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. The leadoff hitter scored three times, drove in three runs, and added his sixth stolen base this season. Freeman recorded only his fourth multi-hit game, and while Saturday was remarkable, remember that Freeman is hitting .221 with four homers and 16 RBI while sporting a paltry .693 OPS. Freeman's excellent performance is a one-off that should be taken as such and is mainly a fantasy option in deep-league formats.
