Rockies starter Kyle Freeland scratched (shoulder) against Padres
Apr 7, 2026; Denver, Colorado, USA; Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (21) delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Houston Astros at Coors Field. Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Colorado Rockies starter Kyle Freeland was scratched from his start Sunday at the San Diego Padres because of left posterior shoulder soreness.
Freeland, who was 1-1 with a 2.30 earned run average in his first three starts this year, was replaced by right-handed reliever Jimmy Herget. It was the second time in the series that Herget served as the opener. He started Thursday night's game and worked a 1-2-3 inning.
Herget wasn't quite as successful this time as San Diego touched him for a first inning run on Manny Machado's sacrifice fly that scored Ramon Laureano.
Chase Dollander relieved Herget in the second and was scheduled to serve as the team's bulk reliever for the second time in the series. He pitched 4 1/3 innings on Thursday night, allowing one run.
