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.

Freeland (1-9) took the loss after throwing four innings, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two, during Friday's 10-6 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

A three-start streak of quality outings came to a close Friday for Freeland, roughed up for six or more runs for the fourth time this season. Even in his quality starts, the main issue is that the 32-year-old has been getting hit around a little bit, allowing seven or more hits in five of his last six starts. His ERA is up to 5.56 on the season, with 59 strikeouts over 77.2 innings. He is slated to face the Astros at home in his next start.

Freeland (back) has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Friday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Freeland will return after the minimum 15 days on the injured list. The southpaw didn't go on a rehab assignment but isn't expected to be under any restrictions. Freeland owns a 5.13 ERA and a 57:15 K:BB over 14 starts for the Rockies in 2025. Anthony Molina was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Freeland (back) threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday, and he remains on track to start Friday versus the Brewers, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland is all but set to return to action Friday in Milwaukee, toeing the rubber for the first time since being placed on the 15-day injured list with back stiffness June 15, retroactive to June 12. It will be a minimum stay on the IL for the left-hander, and he will likely avoid any usage restrictions in the outing. Freeland had posted three consecutive quality starts before going down with the injury, producing a 2.95 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 13 punchouts over 18.1 innings in those outings. The southpaw previously faced Milwaukee at home April 8, surrendering five runs on eight hits while hitting a batter and striking out five others.

Freeland (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday and is expected to return from the 15-day injured injured list to start Friday against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran left-hander landed on the shelf due to back stiffness after his June 11 start against San Francisco, but he's on track to rejoin Colorado's rotation after spending the minimum amount of time on the IL. Freeland will likely throw another bullpen session Tuesday before being fully cleared to return this weekend.

The Rockies placed Freeland on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to lower-back stiffness.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland didn't seem to be dealing with any physical issues while turning in his third consecutive quality start Wednesday, so the back injury may have cropped up during his between-starts bullpen session. The lefty's stint on the IL will be backdated to Thursday, and he could be ready for reinstatement when first eligible June 27. The Rockies called up Carson Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Freeland's spot in the rotation.

Freeland finished with a no-decision Wednesday against San Francisco, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland pitched pretty well and held a three-run lead at the time of his departure. However, Colorado's bullpen imploded, allowing the Giants to score seven times over the final two frames, halting the southpaw's bid at a second straight victory. Freeland did, however, manage to notch a third straight quality start, and he's pitched to a 2.95 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB across 18.1 innings during that stretch. He'll try to extend the run of quality starts in his next outing, which is expected to come on the road in Washington.

Freeland (1-8) picked up the win in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Marlins, allowing two runs (both unearned) on four hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty blanked Miami through six frames before an Orlando Arcia error in the seventh eventually led to a couple runs, but Freeland still left the mound with the lead -- and for once, the Rockies' bullpen didn't squander it. The quality start was his second straight and sixth of the season, and Freeland will take a 5.19 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB through 67.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Giants.

Freeland (0-8) took the loss against the Mets on Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland put the Rockies behind early when he yielded a leadoff home run to Francisco Lindor. Freeland gave up additional runs in the third and fourth, including a Starling Marte solo homer. The 32-year-old southpaw was able to limit the damage to three runs and came away with his fourth quality start of the season, but he couldn't avoid the loss as the Rockies were limited to just two runs. Freeland hasn't recorded a win since September of 2024, and through 12 starts this season he holds a 5.72 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB across 61.1 innings. He'll look to get into the win column for the first time in 2025 in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against Miami.

Freeland (0-7) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing eight runs (four earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Freeland put the Rockies on the back foot in the first inning after yielding a solo home run to Aaron Judge. Freeland kept the Yankees off the board over the next three frames but ran into trouble in the fifth, when he allowed seven of the first nine batters on base before being mercifully lifted for Angel Chivilli. Freeland has given up five earned runs or more in five outings this season and has gone 14 straight starts without a win, dating back to September of 2024. He has a 5.86 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 55.1 innings this season, both of which lead the majors among qualified starters. Things won't get easier for Freeland, as he's slated to make his next start against the Mets on the road next weekend.
