Nate Freiman launched his first major league home run in Monday's win over the Astros.
Freiman's two-out, three-homer homer in the first inning sent Erik Bedard to the showers. It was the big first baseman's only hit on the night and his first hit in his last 11 at-bats. He'll continue to see occasional playing time at first base and DH but shouldn't be owned in fantasy leagues. Apr 16 - 1:40 AM

Nate Freiman has made the A's Opening Day roster.

The A's claimed Freiman -- a Rule 5 Draft pick -- off waivers from the Astros on March 23. The 6-foot-8 first baseman has made a good impression in his short time in camp and should get starts against left-handers.

Nate Freiman - 1B - Athletics

Athletics claimed 1B Nate Freiman off waivers from the Astros.

Freiman is a Rule 5 pick, so he'll have to make the Athletics' Opening Day roster or be offered back to the Padres. Fernando Rodriguez (elbow) was placed on the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move.

Nate Freiman - 1B - Athletics

Astros GM Jeff Luhnow is optimistic that Nate Freiman will hit his way into an Opening Day roster spot.

Freiman was selected in the second round of last month's Rule 5 Draft and would have to be returned to the Padres if he does not land a spot on the Astros' roster this spring. "It's a big jump from the Texas League to the big leagues," Luhnow told MLB.com, "but if he hits the way we hope he will, he'll work his way on the team."
