The Colorado Rockies on Sunday placed left-hander Kyle Freeland on the injured list with lower back stiffness, while left-hander Austin Gomber was activated from the 60-day IL and lefty Carson Palmquist was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The Rockies also optioned right-hander Zach Agnos to Albuquerque, while right-hander Ryan Feltner was moved to the 60-day injured list with back spasms.
