SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Colorado Rockies traded outfielder Nolan Jones to the Cleveland Guardians for Tyler Freeman on Saturday.
The addition of Freeman provides increased flexibility for Colorado after it lost Thairo Estrada to a broken right wrist. The 25-year-old Freeman has made big league starts at second base, third, shortstop and center field.
The 26-year-old Jones returns to Cleveland after he made his big league debut with the Guardians in 2022.
