Mike Freeman optioned to Reno

In what appears to be a move to clear roster space for the return of David Peralta, Mike Freeman has been returned to Reno.

Freeman, 28, appeared in 8 games with the D-backs this season. He was recalled from Reno on July 17 and made his Major League debut that night vs. Dodgers. However, he is still seeking his first major-league hit, having gone 0-for-9 with a pair of walks and four strikeouts. All of the appearances save his debut were as a pinch-hitter off the bench, which can't have made things any easier for him.
