Rockies Scratch Kyle Freeland With Shoulder Soreness in San Diego

The late scratch turned the finale into a bullpen game.

Overview

  • The Rockies said Sunday that Freeland was scratched after the game began with soreness in the back of his pitching shoulder.
  • Reliever Jimmy Herget hurried in to open the bottom of the first and gave up a run on a hit batter, a Fernando Tatis Jr. single and Manny Machado's sacrifice fly in a 24-pitch inning.
  • Chase Dollander took the second inning and allowed Ty France's leadoff double and Freddy Fermin's sacrifice fly.
  • Valente Bellozo handled the third as Colorado pieced together its second bullpen game of the four-game series.
  • Colorado has not given a timetable for Freeland, who entered with a 2.30 ERA over three starts and has been the staff's early-season anchor.
