Kyle Freeland

Kyle Freeland allowed one hit (a home run to Chad Pinder) in two innings of work Thursday. He came out for the third inning but left the game with back spasms.

Fantasy Impact

After a very productive 2018 campaign that saw Freeland go 17-7 with a 2.85 ERA, the wheels completely came off in 2019. Last season, he went 3-11 with a 6.73 ERA and saw a dramatic increase in his HR/FB rate (8.5% in 2018 to 21.7% in 2019). There's certainly hope for a positive regression here, but expectations should be tempered with Freeland's home games being at one of the least pitcher-friendly parks in the league.

Kyle Freeland pitched three innings on Thursday against the Giants, allowing one run on three hits.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland issued one walk and didn't strike anyone out. The lefty finishes the season with a 6.73 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. This comes one year after being one of the best pitchers in baseball in 2018 when he posted a 2.58 ERA in 33 starts. Freeland will be someone to avoid entering 2020 fantasy drafts.

Kyle Freeland was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland is eligible to return September 1st, but it is unknown how much time he will need to recover. The Rockies rotation continues to be decimated by injuries. Look for Antonio Senzatela or Jeff Hoffman to replace him for Sunday’s start against the Cardinals.

Kyle Freeland fell to 3-11 on Tuesday in Arizona, allowing five runs (three earned) on five hits over 5 1/3 innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland wound up exiting the game with a left groin strain. It is likely he will be placed on the injured list in the coming days.

Kyle Freeland received a no-decision on Friday against the Diamondbacks, surrendering five runs on six hits over six innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland struck out six, walked one, and allowed two homers in the outing. The lefty was sensational last season, but the results just haven't been there this year. Freeland gets Arizona on the road in his next start.
