  • Kyle Freeland (elbow) throws bullpen session Tuesday
    Kyle Freeland (elbow) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday at Coors Field.

    Advice: Freeland was transferred to the 60-day injured list last month as he recovers from a left elbow strain, so it’s an encouraging development that he’s throwing without any issues already. The 31-year-old southpaw should be ready to return at some point in late June or early July. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Rejoining lineup Tuesday
    Arraez (shoulder/neck) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Angels.
