Pitches through illness in loss 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.
Impact 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.

Allows four homers in no-decision 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.
Impact 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.

Six strong innings in rare win 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.
Impact It was one of Freeland's finest efforts of the season, as it was just the third instance where 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 dodgy 4.34 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB covering his last 10 appearances (56 frames). Although Freeland's next start is set to come versus the Cardinals at hitter-friendly Coors Field, it's worth noting that St. Louis does have a poor .618 OPS against left-handed pitching since the beginning of June.

Fades late in loss 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.
Impact 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.

Bounces back with quality start 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.
Impact 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.

Struggles in defeat 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.
Impact 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.
