Kyle Freeland Expects to Return Friday
Kyle Freeland (back) expects to return from the 15-day injured list Friday to make a road start against the Milwaukee Brewers. Freeland has been out just under two weeks with stiffness in his lower back, but he's recovering quickly. While the 32-year-old has logged a below-average 5.13 ERA over 73 2/3 innings this season, he did pitch better before landing on the IL. Freeland put together three straight quality starts and combined to allow six earned runs on 18 hits with 13:2 K:BB across 18 1/3 innings from May 30-June 11. The Brewers will be a tough matchup in his first game back, but Freeland has pitched a lot better on the road than at home this season. He owns a 3.64 ERA with 30:5 K:BB in 42 innings away from Coors Field.
