Fantasy Impact
Freeland has now posted a 13.21 ERA so far this season. He is facing the Mariners next.
In a performance that could generously be described as "middling," Kyle Freeland managed to somewhat steady his rocky start to the 2024 season against the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the Rockies securing a 7-5 victory, Freeland's outing was less than stellar, laboring through 5 innings on 93 pitches, allowing 6 hits and 2 walks while only striking out 2. His ERA slightly improved to an eye-watering 16.03, and his WHIP now sits uncomfortably at 2.91. Owners should proceed with caution, as his high ERA and WHIP are likely to continue being a drag on any team's pitching stats.
Freeland delivered a quality start, going six innings while allowing just two earned runs on six hits and three walks.
Fantasy Impact
Although his season-long numbers have been underwhelming, this performance should provide some encouragement for fantasy managers. With a 5.09 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP on the season, Freeland will need to string together more outings like this to regain fantasy relevance. His low strikeout rate of 5.6 K/9 and a 2.22 strikeout-to-walk ratio highlight his limitations, but if he can continue to limit the damage, he could provide some value down the stretch.
