KYLE FREELAND NEWS

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

Impact 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 on April 8, surrendering five runs on eight hits while hitting a batter and striking out five others.

Shelved with stiff back The Rockies placed Freeland on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to low back stiffness.

Impact Freeland didn't seem to be dealing with any physical issues while turning in his third consecutive quality start in his most recent outing Wednesday against the Giants, so the back injury may have been something that cropped up during his between-starts bullpen session. The lefty's stint on the IL will be backdated to Thursday, and he should have a good chance at being ready for reinstatement when first eligible June 27 if he's able to resume throwing within the next few days. The Rockies called up lefty Carson Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Freeland's spot in the rotation beginning with Monday's game in Washington.

Let down by bullpen Wednesday 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.

Impact Freeland pitched pretty well and held a three-run lead at the time of his departure. However, Colorado's bullpen imploded in 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.
