Freeland was removed in the second inning of his start Wednesday against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports. He retired three hitters and walked two of the five batters he faced before departing.
Freeland lasted only 21 pitches before heading to the dugout after a meeting with a trainer on the mound. An explanation for his early exit isn't yet known, but expect manager Bud Black to provide more details on the matter after the game.
