Earns second straight win Freeland (3-6) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over Miami.

Impact It wasn't the most impressive outing for Freeland but Colorado's offense put up 13 runs to help him snag his second win of the month. He gave up just one run through four innings before Miami broke through to score three in the fifth, including a two-run double by Lewis Brinson. It was Freeland's first time giving up more than three runs in an outing since June 16 and he's now sporting a 4.65 ERA through 14 starts. He's lined up to take the mound in San Francisco next weekend.

Cleared for Sunday Freeland (foot) is slated to start Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Freeland exited early in his most recent start Tuesday against the Cubs after taking a line drive off his left foot, but he avoided any structural damage and escaped with little more than a bruise. According to Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette, Freeland threw a side session Friday without issue, so the lefty shouldn't face any limitations in his return to action this weekend.

Impact Freeland was struck by a line drive during the fifth inning and was pulled at 66 pitches after completing the frame.

Managing bruised foot Freeland was removed from Tuesday's start against the Cubs with a left foot contusion, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander was struck by a batted ball on the left foot during the fifth inning, and he was removed after completing the frame. Freeland pitched well before being pulled and gave up two runs on four hits with five strikeouts and zero walks. He's in line for the victory with the Rockies leading 11-2 during the sixth inning. It's unclear if the issue will affect his availability for his next turn through the rotation, which tentatively lines up for Sunday versus the Marlins.

Draws short straw again Freeland (1-6) lost Thursday's 3-0 affair with the Padres, allowing one run on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Freeland allowed his lone run on back-to-back doubles to leadoff the game and only encountered trouble again in the sixth when San Diego ran into two outs at the plate. Freeland has pitched to a superb 2.40 ERA in five July starts, though he's been tagged as the loser in his last four turns thanks to receiving an anemic six total runs of support in July.

Tough-luck loser Freeland (1-5) lost Saturday's 1-0 contest against the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts in seven innings.

Impact Freeland navigated a potent Los Angeles and required just 89 pitches to endure seven strong innings, but ended up the loser after Colorado managed just two hits against Los Angeles' staff. The lefty has lost three straight starts despite a solid 3.50 ERA over the stretch and will look to get back in the win column against San Diego next week.

Fires quality start despite loss Freeland (1-4) allowed three earned runs on six hits while striking out four across six innings, taking the loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Freeland provided a quality start, but the Rockies could not support him with enough runs to win. He allowed two doubles and a home run to Mookie Betts, which led to most of the runs scored against him. After a rough start, he's allowed just six runs over his last 28 innings pitched. The 28-year-old has a 5.36 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP in 48.2 innings.

Scheduled to pitch over weekend Freeland (finger) is listed as the Rockies' probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Freeland's final start of the first half July 9 against the Padres ended early due to a blister on his pitching hand, but the All-Star break will afford the southpaw plenty of time to recover. Assuming he's able to complete a bullpen session later this week without incident, he'll take the hill for the third game of the Rockies' series with the Dodgers.

Dealing with blister Freeland exited Friday's game after five innings due to a blister on his left middle finger, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

Impact The lefty certainly had more in the tank after throwing just 64 pitches but could not continue pitching with the blister. It's unclear how severe the blister is, but the looming All-Star break gives Freeland some additional recovery time before his next scheduled start.

Loss in brief outing Freeland (1-3) lost Friday's 4-2 game against San Diego, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Freeland had allowed just a single run through five innings but was removed after permitting the first two batters in the sixth to reach base and reliever Tyler Kinley allowed both to score to saddle Freeland with the loss. The lefty only threw 64 pitches in the short appearance and surrendered three runs or less for the fourth straight start.

Fires six shutout innings Freeland fired six scoreless innings, giving up three hits and three walks while striking out three against the Cardinals on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Freeland has not allowed a run in his last two starts. He has a 0.53 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his last 17 innings pitched. However, the 28-year-old still has a 5.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with just a 6.9 K/9 over 37.2 innings this season. His successful start shows that his hamstring injury isn't much of an issue.

Cleared to start Saturday Freeland (hamstring) will stay on turn in the Colorado rotation to start Saturday's game against the Cardinals at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Rockies will have Triple-A Albuquerque pitcher Jose Mujica on standby as a member of the taxi squad to make a spot start if Freeland incurs a setback leading up to the 9:10 p.m ET opening pitch, but the team's medical staff appears confident in the health of the southpaw's left hamstring. Freeland, who exited his last start Monday against the Pirates due to hamstring cramping, was able to complete a bullpen session Thursday without incident.

Throws bullpen Thursday Freeland (hamstring) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Freeland left Monday's start with hamstring cramping, but he played catch from 120 feet Wednesday and was able to continue his normal progression between starts. Assuming he feels good after the bullpen session, the southpaw will likely be ready to start against the Cardinals on Saturday.

JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plays catch Thursday Freeland (hamstring) was spotted playing catch Wednesday from about 120 feet, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact After cruising through five scoreless innings Monday against the Pirates, Freeland's start ended early when he experienced cramping in his left hamstring. The fact that Freeland was able to throw two days later suggests the hamstring won't be much of a concern moving forward, so the lefty looks like he'll be ready to pitch by the time his next turn in the rotation comes up Saturday against the Cardinals. He'll likely throw a bullpen session Thursday before the Rockies sign off on him starting this weekend.
