Records steal in win Freeman went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, two hit-by-pitches, a stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.
Impact That's a hard way to get on base four times, but it worked well to set the table for the Guardians. Freeman is still not hitting all that well -- he's batting .167 over 12 games in May, dropping his season average to .193 through 37 contests. He's made up for it with a passable .307 on-base percentage and 9.2 percent walk rate. The 24-year-old has added five steals, four home runs, 13 RBI, 21 runs scored and six doubles through 141 plate appearances. Manager Stephen Vogt is still trying to figure out who will fit best at leadoff while Steven Kwan (hamstring) is out, and Freeman is in the mix, having hit atop the order in each of the last three games.

Picks up second steal Freeman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
Impact Freeman is playing fairly regularly as the Guardians' preferred center fielder, though Ramon Laureano and Estevan Florial have also seen some time there. The steal was Freeman's second of the campaign. He's hit safely in five of eight contests, batting just .194 with a home run, five RBI, four runs scored and a double over 35 plate appearances. Freeman is not established enough in a starting role to be able to afford a dry spell at the plate, though neither Laureano (.222) nor Florial (.182) has pressed the issue yet.

Getting run in center field Freeman went 1-for-5 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Athletics.
Impact Platoons are emerging in right field and at designated hitter, but the right-handed Freeman has started all three games in center field so far. He's done fairly well, going 3-for-12 with two RBI, two walks, two runs scored and one steal on two attempts. It's not enough to say confidently he'll be the starter in center all season -- the Athletics are a soft season-opening series for a Guardians team trying to figure out its best alignment. Still, it's encouraging Freeman is getting early at-bats, though he's yet to excel in any one area. Should Freeman stumble, Esteven Florial represents a possible platoon partner.
