The Rockies have placed left-hander Kyle Freeland on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation, retroactive to April 13th. In his absence, Jose Quintana has been reinstated from the IL to take his spot in the rotation. Freeland was performing well with a 2.30 ERA but faces challenges in triggering his $17MM option for 2027, given his injury history and the Rockies’ rebuilding strategy. Quintana will start in Freeland’s place, followed by Tomoyuki Sugano, Ryan Feltner, Chase Dollander, and Michael Lorenzen.
