Freeland (3-13) took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland was hurt by the long ball, giving up two-run homers in both the second and third innings. The veteran southpaw generated just four swinging strikes on 94 pitches and has now allowed at least five earned runs in seven of 24 starts this year. He'll carry a 5.31 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 91:34 K:BB across 125.1 innings into a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Freeland (finger) is slated to start Saturday's game against the Pirates at PNC Park.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland developed a blister on his pitching hand during his most recent outing in Monday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, but it apparently didn't prevent him from completing his between-starts bullpen session. He'll return to the mound on his standard four days' rest and shouldn't face any restrictions as he takes the hill for his 24th start of the season.

Freeland left Monday's start against the Dodgers due to an apparent blister on his pitching hand, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings before departing.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland tried to go back out for a fifth inning of work but walked back to the clubhouse after it became clear he couldn't fight through the issue any longer. It's currently unclear if the issue will cause the southpaw to miss his next turn through the rotation, which tentatively lines up for Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Freeland (3-12) picked up the win against the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out two in 7.1 scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander delivered arguably his best outing of the season Tuesday, throwing 93 pitches (62 strikes) and blanking the Cardinals over a season-high 7.1 innings. Despite the sharp performance, Freeland still sports a 5.18 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 80:30 K:BB through 116.1 innings. The veteran has now held opponents to two or fewer runs in three of his last five starts, but his track record suggests maintaining this form could be a challenge.

Freeland (2-12) took the loss Wednesday against Toronto, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

After holding Toronto scoreless through his first two innings, Freeland gave up a two-out, three-run blast to Bo Bichette in the third before surrendering three more runs in the fifth. The 32-year-old Freeland has given up seven home runs in his last four starts (19.2 innings). His ERA is up to 5.53 with a 1.52 WHIP and 78:28 K:BB across 21 starts (109 innings) this season. The left-hander will look for better results in his next outing, tentatively lined up for next week in St. Louis.

Freeland (2-11) took the loss Wednesday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in three innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland was pitching through an illness Wednesday, per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, which likely played a large part in interim manager Warren Schaeffer's decision to pull the hurler after he threw just 40 pitches. The left-hander yielded a pair of runs in the first inning, but he managed to settle in to toss two clean frames thereafter. Freeland owns a 5.26 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 74:26 K:BB over 104.1 innings, and he doesn't shape up as a recommended fantasy option at home versus the first-place Blue Jays next week.

Freeland did not factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over the Orioles, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland allowed four solo homers in his first two innings but bounced back with four scoreless frames. The veteran southpaw threw 66 of 93 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs, and he's now completed at least six frames in 11 of 19 starts this season. He'll take a 5.24 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 74:26 K:BB across 101.1 innings into a road matchup with the Guardians next week.

Freeland (2-10) earned the win Friday against the Twins, giving up one run on five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

It was one of Freeland's finest efforts of the season, as it was just the third instance in which he fired at least six innings while allowing one run or fewer. The left-hander has still issued multiple walks in five straight outings, and he's worked to a shaky 4.34 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB covering his last 10 appearances (56 innings). Although Freeland's next start is set to come versus the Cardinals at hitter-friendly Coors Field, St. Louis has a poor .618 OPS against left-handed pitching since the beginning of June.

Freeland (1-10) yielded three runs on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings Tuesday, striking out six and taking a loss against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland rolled through five shutout frames with little trouble before stumbling in the sixth inning. He was knocked out of the game on Trevor Story's two-out RBI single and was charged with two more runs with Juan Mejia on the mound. Freeland has given up at least three runs in 13 of his 17 starts this season, resulting in a 5.44 ERA across 89.1 frames. His lone win this year came against Miami on June 4, but he's since given up 15 runs over his last outings (6.23 ERA). Freeland is currently lined up to start in Cincinnati this weekend.

Freeland did not factor into the decision in Thursday's game against the Astros. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland got off to a rocky start after giving up three runs over the first two innings. He settled down to keep the Astros off the board over the next four frames and came away with his eighth quality start of the season (and fourth in his last five outings). Freeland now has a 5.49 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 61:20 K:BB across 83.2 innings this season. He's tentatively lined up to face the Red Sox at Fenway Park next week, which may be his last turn in the rotation before the All-Star break.
