Freeman, 24, is a 6-foot-8, 235-pound left-hander who pitched at Oklahoma State. Selected by Houston in the seventh round of last year's draft, the reigning Big 12 Pitcher of the Year was 2-1 with a 1.17 earned run average over 17 combined games at Quad Cities, Lancaster, and Corpus Christi during his first professional campaign. He earned two saves for the JetHawks.
Freeman stands 2-1 this season in 11 relief appearances and 17 1/3 innings.
The 23-year-old Sneed is a Dallas Baptist product who came to the Astros organization last fall from Milwaukee in a trade for former Hooks infielder Jonathan Villar. Sneed was drafted by Texas out of Twin Falls, Idaho, High School in 2011, but opted to pitch for the Patriots. The Brewers took him in the third round two years ago.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound right-hander is 1-1 with Corpus Christi in five appearances (three starts).
