Mariners' Mike Freeman: Added to lineup Sunday

Freeman was a late addition to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. He'll bat eighth in the order and man third base.

Analysis:

Kyle Seager was a late scratch with a sore hip, so Freeman will enter the lineup for the second time in as many days. Freeman has gone just 2-for-14 at the dish this season and could be back in a bench role as soon as Tuesday's series opener against the Tigers, so it probably won't be worthwhile to track his performance in Sunday's contest.
