Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Nursing back issue

Freeman has been slowed early on in Rockies camp by back soreness, MLB.com reports.

Freeman was given an anti-inflammatory injection weeks before camp opened and the hope is that he will be cleared for full activities soon. The 26-year-old slashed .281/.354/.361 with two home runs and 18 stolen bases for Colorado in 2025 and, assuming health, appears slated for a utility role in 2026.
