Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland has left Sunday's game after two innings with a finger issue on his pitching hand.

The 31-year-old has a history of recurring blister issues throughout his major league career.

Freeland warmed up for the top of the third inning before manager Bud Black and a trainer came to the mound. He was taken out of the game and Angel Chivilli came on in relief.

Freeland (0-3, 4.88 ERA) allowed three runs -- one earned -- in his two innings of work.
