Ailing Shoulder Sidelines Rockies’ Kyle Freeland as Jose Quintana Returns
Freeland is 1-1 with a 2.30 ERA this season, and Quintana returns after a hamstring injury to start against the Astros.
- On Wednesday, the Colorado Rockies placed left-hander Kyle Freeland on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, a move retroactive to Monday after he was scratched from his scheduled start.
- Left-Hander Jose Quintana was reinstated from the injured list to take Freeland's roster spot and was scheduled to start Wednesday night against the Houston Astros.
- The injury creates uncertainty for Freeland regarding a $17 million vesting player option for 2027, which requires him to reach 170 innings pitched this season—a threshold he has achieved just twice in his career.
- Colorado's starting rotation faces pressure with a 4.95 ERA entering Wednesday; while right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano has performed well, teammates Michael Lorenzen and Ryan Feltner have struggled through the first 17 games.
- Reflecting on his decade with the organization, Freeland recently described playing for the Rockies as "the coolest thing," recalling his childhood admiration for Hall of Famers Larry Walker and Todd Helton.
