2024 Fantasy Outlook
The left-hander struggled to a 5.03 ERA in 29 starts before suffering an oblique strain in mid-September, which ended his season a couple weeks early. Freeland delivered a 2.85 ERA across 202.1 innings in 2018, but that effort is a clear anomaly as he has a 4.96 ERA in the five seasons since. His strikeout rate last season dipped to a career-low 13.9 percent, which went along with a career worst in his average fastball velocity (88.8 mph). Freeland was never a flamethrower, but the velocity drop puts even more pressure on his less-than-reliable command. Even if his fastball gets back into the lower 90s, the 4.33 ERA he had in 2020 and 2021 is likely the best fantasy managers can hope for, especially with hitter-friendly Coors Field still in the mix to bloat his numbers. Combined with the low strikeout numbers, the upside here is limited, at best. Read Past Outlooks

Good to go Sunday
Rockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Freeland (finger) is fine and will make his regularly scheduled start Sunday versus the Brewers in Milwaukee, MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
During his previous start Tuesday in Atlanta, Freeland felt a blister pop up on his left middle finger during the third inning, but he remained in the game until exiting after five frames. Freeland didn't appear to be affected much by the issue, as he struck out five over his five innings while allowing just two runs (one earned) on six hits and zero walks. With Freeland checking out fine a few days after the start, he should take the hill Sunday without any restrictions.

Writing a player capsule for a Rockies pitcher could easily become a MadLib template. (Insert pitcher) struggles at home but does better away from the toils of pitching at Coors as (same pitcher) has immensely better results on the road. Stream (same pitcher) on the road when the matchup is right while benching him whenever possible at Coors unless he is facing Oakland or Pittsburgh. That about sums up Freeland, but throw in the unusual issue the lefty has against fellow lefties and you get a giant mess who somehow won nine games last season around a 4.53 ERA. He pitched a full run better by ERA after the break going 5-4, but the WHIP and low strikeouts make him just about impossible to roster in most draft formats. 2018 was fun when it happened, but it will not happen again. The mid-4's ERA was fine last decade, but in this new run environment, 4.5 is the new 5.00. Avoid.

High price tag
Freeland could be available on the trade market, but Colorado would have to "decidedly win the deal," speculates Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Freeland is under team control through 2026 with a 2027 vesting option. The 30-year-old's 4.54 ERA and 5.12 expected ERA makes the 2023 trade deadline an unfavorable selling point for Colorado, but Bowden notes that Freeland could draw interest in what's expected to be a sellers' market.
