Kyle Freeland - Suffers right shoulder injuryFreeland was removed from Sunday's start against the Giants with an apparent right shoulder injury, Kelsey Wingert-Linch of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.
ImpactThe left-hander was pitching well in San Francisco on Sunday with just one run allowed through 6.1 frames, but he appeared to injure his non-throwing shoulder while attempting to field a bunt during the seventh inning. Freeland already wasn't scheduled to pitch during the first game of the second half next weekend against the Yankees, so it'll be at least eight full days until his next turn through the rotation. The 30-year-old availability will remain up in the air until he's further evaluated.

Tyler Kinley - Set to move rehab to High-AKinley (elbow) is expected to move his rehab assignment from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to High-A Spokane by the end of the upcoming week, Patrick Saunders of The Denv...
ImpactKinley, who has been on the shelf all season while recovering from June 2022 flexor tendon surgery, rebounded nicely after giving up six earned runs while recording one out in his first rehab outing in the ACL on Tuesday. After two days of rest, Kinley returned to the hill Friday and delivered a scoreless inning. The right-hander will be re-examined in Denver this coming Thursday, and if all goes well, he'll head to Spokane. Kinley will likely make at least a couple appearances with Spokane before advancing to Triple-A Albuquerque, and then eventually rejoining the Colorado bullpen.
