Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Less than a year after finishing with a 2.85 ERA and being a part of the Cy Young conversation in the National League, Freeland has a 7.13 ERA and found himself being sent to the minor leagues. While his .287 BABIP is nearly identical to last year's number of .285, his HR/FB rate has skyrocketed from 8.5% last season to 21.6% this season.

Kyle Freeland was hit hard once again on Thursday versus Arizona, giving up five runs on seven hits in just three innings of work.

Fantasy Impact

The lefty continues to struggle mightily for Colorado. Through two months he has given up 16 homers while posting a 7.13 ERA. He gave up 17 homers all of last season while posting a 2.85 ERA. Freeland can be dropped in all leagues right now. He gets the Cubs on the road next.

Kyle Freeland fell to 2-6 on Saturday versus the Orioles, surrendering seven runs on 10 hits over just four innings of work.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland struck out two and walked one. He now has a 6.71 ERA on the year and simply can't be trusted in fantasy these days. The 26-year-old lefty draws the Diamondbacks at home next time out.

Kyle Freeland allowed three runs on four hits in just 1 2/3 innings on Sunday versus the Phillies, receiving a no-decision while walking three and striking out two.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland just didn't have it today. It's been a rough 2019 season for the lefty, who posted a tremendous 2.85 ERA last year. His ERA on the current season now stands at 6.02. Freeland doesn't even need to be owned in fantasy when he takes on the Orioles next time out.

Kyle Freeland received a no-decision on Tuesday in Boston, allowing three runs on five hits over six innings of work.

Fantasy Impact

Freeland struck out seven and walked three as the Rockies came back to win in extra innings. All three runs he gave up were via solo homers. Freeland hasn't been as effective this season as he was in 2018. He'll carry a 5.68 ERA into his next start on the road versus Pittsburgh.
