Freeland (finger) has been cleared to start Saturday's game against the Padres at Coors Field.

Freeland said after his most recent start Sunday versus Atlanta that he developed a blister on his pinky finger during the outing, which likely played a part in him being lifted midway through the fourth inning after just 65 pitches. The southpaw was apparently able to complete his between-starts bullpen session without issue, so he's not expected to be limited by the blister when he takes the hill Saturday. Freeland owns a 5.75 ERA and 1.49 WHIP on the season but has surprisingly pitched effectively at Coors Field, logging a 3.06 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB over 32.1 innings in Colorado.
