Kyle Freeland Placed on 15-Day IL with Cervical Radiculopathy

The Colorado Rockies have officially placed left-hander Kyle Freeland on the 15-day injured list as of Monday due to cervical radiculopathy. The diagnosis follows reports of a pinched nerve in his neck, which caused him to exit his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday after just 3 2/3 innings. Freeland will now focus on his recovery, with his status to be re-evaluated as he progresses through the required rehabilitation timeline.
