2019 is not Kyle Freeland’s year
Kyle Freeland’s groin injury is just one more letdown in the disastrous 2019 season. After being last season’s ace, Freeland hit a major rough patch in 2019, struggling through an early injury and a stint in Triple-A. His return was still a bit lackluster, but things started to improve. Right as we were starting to see glimpses of the old Freeland, this new injury got in the way. His injury is concurrent with Jon Gray’s, leaving the pitching rotation a little thin. The best we can hope for is that he will recover well from this injury and improve more into the 2020 season.
