Freeland (neck) is expected to pitch in a rehab game at Double-A Hartford on Wednesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.
Freeland landed on the injured list Aug. 24 due to cervical radiculopathy, and after spending the past week throwing off a mound, the 33-year-old is now ready to return to a competitive setting. It's unclear whether he'll make additional rehab appearances beyond Wednesday, but because he hasn't been on the shelf very long, he shouldn't need much time to ramp back up.
