The Rockies shared a bit of good news Friday, quickly followed by bad news. And so it goes in 2023.
Left-handed starter Kyle Freeland, who dislocated his right shoulder Sunday diving for a bunt in a game at San Francisco, suffered only a slight tear to his labrum. He will not need surgery, and although he was placed on the 15-day injured list, he’s expected to pitch again this season. There is no timetable for his return.
Senzatela, 28, signed a five-year, $50.5 million contract after the 2021 season. Now he will essentially miss two full seasons — most of the current one and all of the next. “Thankfully, it wasn’t to the extent of ‘B-Rod’s’ injury. Thankfully it’s just a partial tear that over time will strengthen and heal. We can play this day by day and get this to where it needs to be.”
Colorado has now lost four-fifths of starting rotation to injury. Opening-day starter German Marquez has already undergone Tommy John surgery, and Ryan Feltner was hit in the head by a line drive on May 13, resulting in a fractured skull. Although there is no timetable for Freeland’s return, he will miss several starts.
Black said the club will utilize a “bullpen game” Tuesday against the Astros at Coors Field. The Rockies are fortunate that they have a number of off days coming up, including Monday and Thursday, enabling them to juggle their starting pitchers.
