1B FA
Freiman cleared waivers Sunday and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The Athletics dropped Freiman from their 40-man roster Thursday in order to clear a spot for newly acquired reliever Cody Martin. Freiman had hoped to solidify himself as a platoon mate with Ike Davis this season, but after struggling with the big club in the early going and performing even worse with Nashville -- where he's batting .171 across 117 at-bats -- he's no longer much of a useful asset for the organization.
