Availability
Kyle Freeland settled for a no-decision on Wednesday despite allowing just a run on five hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out six as the Rockies defeated the Blue Jays, 2-1, in 10 innings.
Fantasy Impact
Freeland (0-1) was locked in a pitcher's duel with Toronto's Kevin Gausman with the Colorado southpaw on the short end of a 1-0 score after his five innings of work. The Rockies were able to score a run in the eighth to take Freeland off the hook. He threw 88 pitches in his five innings - 60 for strikes - and lowered his ERA to 2.89 through two starts on the year. Freeland's next start is lined up to be against the Astros early next week.
Kyle Freeland went 4.1 innings and allowed two runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts in Colorado's 2-1 loss to the Marlins in the season opener for both teams.
Fantasy Impact
Freeland made his franchise-record fifth Opening Day start and allowed two runs in the second inning, accounting for all of Miami's offense on Friday. Freeland is coming off of a 2025 season that saw him go 5-17 with a 4.98 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. While you could do worse than having Freeland on your fantasy roster, it's probably best to stay away from all Colorado pitchers at this point.
The Rockies have named Kyle Freeland their Opening Day starter.
Fantasy Impact
Freeland will take the mound against the Marlins in Miami on April 27. It will be his third straight Opening Day start and fifth in his career. He posted a 4.98 ERA over 31 starts last season for Colorado.

Freeland (back) has been sidelined by mid-back spasms. He completed a bullpen session on Wednesday that went well.
Fantasy Impact
