Overview

• Freeland, ranked No. 3 in the Dodgers’ farm system by MLB Pipeline, was added to the active roster on July 29 and joined the team in Cincinnati.
• The 23-year-old switch-hitter batted .253 with 12 home runs and 71 RBIs in 94 games at Triple-A Oklahoma City while logging solid defensive work at shortstop and third base.
• The promotion comes after Tommy Edman tweaked his ankle, Hyeseong Kim has battled a shoulder issue, and Max Muncy remains on the injured list.
• Manager Dave Roberts said the club has yet to decide whether Edman or Kim will be placed on the injured list as it balances health concerns with lineup stability.
• Freeland’s multi-position capability and disciplined approach at the plate have also prompted mild trade speculation as the Dodgers assess their deadline options.
