Rockies Place Kyle Freeland on 15-Day Injured List With Shoulder Inflammation
The Colorado Rockies announced on Wednesday that they placed left-hander Kyle Freeland (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 13) with left-shoulder inflammation. The team reinstated left-hander Jose Quintana (hamstring) from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move, and he will start Wednesday's game on the road against the Houston Astros. It's unclear if the 32-year-old Freeland will be ready to return from the IL when he's eligible near the end of this month. Freeland was pitching well in the early going in 2026, allowing only four earned runs with four walks and 13 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings pitched in his first three starts. He was scratched from his last scheduled start over the weekend on Sunday in San Diego due to shoulder tightness. If it's just inflammation bothering Freeland and nothing else, this shouldn't be an extended stay on the IL. For at least several turns through the starting rotation, the veteran Quintana will get another shot with the Rockies.
