Freeland Out, Rockies Pitching Struggles | Denver News

Colorado Rockies’ ace lefty Kyle Freeland is sidelined for 15 days with a pinched nerve, retroactive to August 21st — adding fuel to their already shaky pitching rotation. The 2023 season has been rough for Freeland, who’s posted a 4-10 record and a 6.37 ERA, and this isn’t his first injury stint this year. With a big contract and player option tied to innings pitched — something he’s barely met in his career — the Rockies are turning to rookie Blake Adams from Triple-A to fill the void, though Adams himself hasn’t fared well in the minors. The team’s hopes rest on Freeland bouncing back quickly, but for now, they’re forced to lean on less proven arms as they navigate another rocky stretch.
