Pitches into seventh Freeland (7-8) picked up the win Tuesday against the Nationals after pitching 6.2 innings and giving up one run. He allowed six hits and walked four while striking out three.

Impact The 28-year-old tossed six scoreless innings before surrendering a bases loaded walk to Lane Thomas in the seventh inning, driving in Yadiel Hernandez for the only run against him in the contest. He has now notched three consecutive quality starts, posting a 1.93 ERA and 2-0 record over those outings. Freeland is not expected to make another start before the regular season ends Sunday, finishing his year with seven wins, a 4.33 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 105 strikeouts in 120.2 innings.

Turns in quality start Freeland allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings Thursday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Though Freeland allowed eight hits, only one went for extra bases. All three of the earned runs against him came in the second inning, when he allowed three consecutive hits to begin the frame. However, he held the Dodgers scoreless for the rest of his outing and has now allowed three or fewer earned runs in six of his last eight starts -- three of which have come at home. For the season, Freeland has a 4.50 ERA with a 102:34 K:BB across 114 innings.

Handed loss Saturday Freeland (5-8) allowed four runs on five hits and four walks with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Saturday versus Philadelphia.

Impact The southpaw was cruising until he allowed three runs in the fourth inning and a solo shot to Jean Segura in the fifth. Freeland has given up 11 runs in his last 10.1 innings, taking losses in his last two starts. He was 4-0 across five outings in August, but regression has taken hold again. Freeland takes a 4.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 90:32 K:BB into next week's projected road start in Washington.

Struggles on the mound Freeland (5-7) was ambushed for seven runs and picked up a loss against the Giants on Monday. He gave up nine hits while walking three and striking out six in 4.1 innings.

Impact The left-hander struggled with the long ball in this one as he surrendered four of them in the contest including two by Thairo Estrada. He had only surrendered four total home runs in his last seven starts coming into Monday, a stretch where he posted a 3.25 ERA over 36 innings. He'll look to return to form in his next projected start Saturday versus the Phillies.

Cleared to start Monday Freeland (hip) has been confirmed as the Rockies' starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact The lefty's most recent outing Sept. 1 against the Rangers was cut short due to a left hip impingement, but after receiving an injection to address the injury, Freeland looks to be pain free heading into the upcoming week. He was able to throw a bullpen session over the weekend without any discomfort, so Freeland shouldn't face any limitations heading into what's shaping up to be a two-start week. Freeland tentatively lines up to make his second turn of the week Sept. 11 in Philadelphia.

Impact Freeland exited Wednesday's start after five batters due to a left hip impingement, but he may not be forced to miss his next start after receiving treatment. The left-hander tentatively lines up to face the Giants early next week, and he should throw a bullpen session over the weekend to gain final clearance.

Dealing with hip issue Freeland exited Wednesday's start against the Rangers with a left hip impingement, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Impact Freeland faced only five batters and threw 21 pitches prior to being remove from the contest, and he ended up allowing one run on zero hits with two walks and a strikeout in one frame. It's not believed to be a serious injury, so there's a chance he's able to make his next scheduled turn through the rotation versus the Giants early next week.

Logs another quality start Freeland (5-6) earned the win over the Dodgers on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out seven over six innings.

Impact The left-hander didn't allow a formidable Dodgers offense to interrupt a strong stretch that has seen him pick up eight quality starts over his past 12 appearances. Freeland threw 61 of 94 pitches for strikes and punched out seven batters, tying his second-highest total this season. The only two runs against him came via solo home runs by Will Smith and Trea Turner in the third inning. Freeland had a 9.58 ERA over his first five starts of the campaign but has turned things around since, lowering his season ERA to 4.17 with Friday's win. His next start is likely to take place in Texas next week.

Impact Freeland submitted one of the best outings of his season -- at Coors Field, no less -- but he had the misfortune of the Rockies' bats not waking up until the late innings. The southpaw departed with a 2-0 deficit before Colorado tied the score in the bottom of the eighth, then won the game on Elias Diaz's walkoff, three-run home run. Though Freeland was denied a fourth straight win, he continued to build his case for being one of the more underrated fantasy standouts of the season with another strong performance. Over his last 11 outings, Freeland has turned in seven quality starts while posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 8.6 K/9.
