Jun 29 2025Quantrill allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had a decent outing, throwing 54 of 87 pitches for strikes, but the Marlins' run support didn't show up until the eighth inning. He has gone seven starts without a win, allowing 16 runs (15 earned) over 32 innings in that span. Quantrill hasn't found much opportunity to pitch deep into games, and that will make wins tough to come by. He's at a 5.42 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 56:22 K:BB through 73 innings over 16 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.
Jun 24 2025Quantrill allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill ran into trouble in the fifth inning, and he ended up coming up an out short of the win. He was pulled with the tying run on base, and Anthony Bender got the final out as Rafael Devers was thrown out at the plate on a Heliot Ramos double. Quantrill is no stranger to short outings this season -- this was his seventh start of less than five innings, and he's yet to complete six frames in any of his 15 starts. He's pitched to a poor 5.56 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB across 68 innings. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at Arizona this weekend.
Jun 22 2025Quantrill (hamstring) is scheduled to start Tuesday against the GIants, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander dealt with a cramp in his left hamstring during his previous start last Tuesday against the Phillies, but it won't affect his availability for the next turn through the rotation. Quantrill hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a start since April 30, and he has a 3.93 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 36.2 innings during that eight-start stretch.
Jun 18 2025Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Quantrill dealt with a cramp in his left hamstring during Tuesday's start against the Phillies, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was seen grabbing at his hamstring after the Marlins recorded the final out in the top of the fourth inning. He came back out for the fifth but was pulled after hitting a batter and giving up a double. Quantrill had thrown only 74 pitches and allowed just one run to that point, although he was charged with an additional two runs after exiting. It's not clear how much the right-hander's cramping factored into McCullough's decision to remove the hurler, but the manager expects Quantrill to be ready to go for his next scheduled outing Tuesday in San Francisco.
Jun 11 2025Quantrill (3-7) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks over five innings as the Marlins were downed 5-2 by the Pirates. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first time since April 30 that the right-hander has been tagged for more than three runs. Quantrill has found a few more whiffs lately, recording at least six strikeouts in four of his last seven trips to the mound while posting a 3.58 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings over that span. With Ryan Weathers (lat) back on the 60-day IL, Quantrill's rotation spot seems secure heading into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Phillies.
Jun 4 2025Quantrill (3-6) took the loss Wednesday as the Marlins fell 3-2 to the Rockies, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander allowed three runs or fewer for the sixth straight outing, a stretch in which Quantrill has delivered a 3.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB over 27.2 innings, but he has just one win to show for it due to a combination of poor run support and the fact that he hasn't worked more than five innings in any of those starts. Quantrill's rotation spot looked like it might be in jeopardy with Eury Perez (elbow) poised to make his 2025 debut Monday, but a hip injury for Max Meyer bought him a reprieve. Quantrill will look to stay stingy in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week in Pittsburgh.
May 30 2025Quantrill (3-5) picked up the loss Friday after throwing five innings, surrendering two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven in the 2-0 loss to the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill pitched well on Friday, but needed to be perfect to avoid the loss since the Marlins offense didn't give him any help. The 30-year-old has been unable to find a way to get consistently deep into ballgames this season, recording an out in the sixth inning just once in his 11 starts. Regardless, he's given the Marlins a chance to win games, especially lately. The right-hander has allowed just four runs over his last three starts spanning 13.1 innings (2.70 ERA) while picking up 15 strikeouts as well.
May 24 2025Quantrill allowed a run on three hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill threw just 46 pitches (31 strikes) before getting pulled when he ran into trouble in the fourth inning. There was no reported injury after the game, so this currently appears to be just a curious managerial decision. Quantrill has allowed just one run in three of his last four starts, but he hasn't logged more than five innings in any of those outings. He's now at a 6.09 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 44.1 innings over 10 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Giants.
May 18 2025Quantrill (3-4) earned the win Sunday against the Rays, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill matched a season high with his six punchouts, last achieved against the Dodgers on May 6. He stymied the Tampa Bay lineup, not allowing an extra-base hit and conceding a lone run on a Yandy Diaz groundout in the third. After pitching to an 8.10 ERA across his first 26.2 innings, Quantrill been sharper over his last three appearances, firing a 3.14 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB over 14.1 innings. He is currently slated to make his next start at the Angels next weekend.
May 12 2025Quantrill (2-4) took the loss Monday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings with one strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Miami right-hander was cruising through four scoreless innings before unraveling in the fifth during this 83-pitch effort. In the fifth frame, Quantrill conceded three runs on three hits, including a Dansby Swanson two-run long ball. Across 36 total innings, Quantrill has pitched to an unsightly 7.00 ERA and 1.72 WHIP while failing to earn a quality start in any of his eight outings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Cubs again but at home next week.
May 6 2025Quantrill came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After getting tagged for 15 runs in 12.2 innings over his prior three starts, Quantrill bounced back in impressive fashion. The right-hander didn't allow a runner to get into scoring position after the first inning, leaving the mound after tossing 53 of 79 pitches for strikes. He'll carry a 7.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB through 31.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Cubs.
Apr 30 2025Quantrill (2-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk across 3.2 innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After pitching a clean first inning, Quantrill gave up a two-run, solo homer to Max Muncy in the second before the Dodgers tacked on three more runs in the third. The 30-year-old Quantrill has given up four or more runs in four of his first six starts this season. His ERA is up to 8.10 with a 1.80 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB through 26.2 innings.
Apr 19 2025Quantrill (1-2) took the loss Saturday, surrendering seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.1 innings as the Marlins were downed 11-10 by the Phillies. He failed to strike out a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander did manage to keep the ball in the yard, marking his third straight start without allowing a homer, but that provided only the faintest of silver linings to a brutal outing. Quantrill got the hook after 89 pitches (56 strikes), and he'll carry an 8.31 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 8:9 K:BB through 17.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.
Apr 13 2025Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Nationals. He allowed three runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill gave up one walk over his first two starts, but his command of the strike zone was off Sunday as he issued five free passes. He managed to limit the damage to three runs despite allowing 12 baserunners but came away with a no-decision. Quantrill has begun the season with a 5.79 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 14 innings, and his next start is slated for next weekend on the road against the Phillies.
Apr 5 2025Quantrill (1-1) earned the win Saturday in Atlanta, allowing four hits while striking out four over five scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was a strong bounce-back effort from Quantrill, who gave up six runs in four innings in his first start against the Mets. The 30-year-old right-hander should hold down a spot in the backend of Miami's rotation after pitching to a 4.98 ERA with a 1.52 WHIP and 110:69 K:BB across 29 regular-season starts (148.1 innings) with the Guardians last year.
Mar 31 2025Quantrill (0-1) took the loss after giving up six runs on eight hits and one walk in four innings Monday against the Mets. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although Quantrill had allowed just one run through four innings, the Mets broke the game open in the fifth frame with seven runs, five of which Quantrill was accountable for. The veteran right-hander was unable to record an out in the inning before being pulled, and his night ended after serving up a grand slam to Pete Alonso. Quantrill's next start lines up to come this weekend in a tough matchup in Atlanta.
Mar 22 2025Quantrill struck out five over four perfect innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing most of Washington's Opening Day lineup, Quantrill was simply superb, striking out Dylan Crews twice and James Wood, Josh Bell and Jose Tena once each. While the veteran right-hander was signed in February to bolster the back of the Marlins' rotation, injuries to Ryan Weathers (forearm) and Edward Cabrera (finger) may require Quantrill to take the bump for the second game of the season, March 28 against the Pirates.
Mar 17 2025Quantrill gave up one hit and two walks over three scoreless innings during Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old right-hander has been scuffling this spring, but he looked a little more comfortable Sunday as he built up to 43 pitches (23 strikes). Quantrill is ticketed for a spot in the Marlins' Opening Day rotation, but his 9.45 ERA and 3:4 K:BB through 6.2 spring innings don't offer much optimism that he'll be a useful arm for fantasy purposes. Over the last two seasons for Cleveland and Colorado, he's stumbled to a 5.08 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 48 starts.
Feb 28 2025Quantrill coughed up four runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Most of the damage came on a three-run blast by Nolan Arenado, as Quantrill failed to get out of the first inning. The veteran right-hander tossed only 13 of his 28 pitches for strikes in his first spring game action, and while he is still seen as a lock for the Marlins' Opening Day rotation after signing a one-year, $3.5 million deal earlier in February, his hold on the spot could slip quickly if he keeps struggling in camp.
Feb 12 2025The Marlins signed Quantrill to a one-year, $3.5 million contract Wednesday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was non-tendered by the Rockies earlier this offseason after posting a 4.98 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 110:69 K:BB over 148.1 innings covering 29 starts in 2024. The 30-year-old did have a solid stretch with the Guardians from 2021 to 2022, posting a 3.16 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 336 regular-season innings, although his 4.10 FIP during that span was more indicative of how he pitched. Quantrill should slide into a Marlins rotation that lacks established options at the back end.
Nov 22 2024The Rockies non-tendered Quantrill on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies will pass on a second year with Quantrill after the 29-year-old turned in a 4.98 ERA and 1.52 WHIP last season. He'll now attempt to latch on with another organization in free agency, though many teams may be turned away by his 5.04 ERA when pitching away from Coors Field.
Sep 28 2024Quantrill (8-11) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.1 innings as the Rockies were routed 11-4 by the Dodgers. He failed to strike out a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A two-run homer by Teoscar Hernandez in the first inning and a solo shot by Andy Pages in the fourth were the big blows off Quantrill, as the right-hander saw his season end with his worst outing since July 30. His first campaign with the Rockies was predictably turbulent, but Quantrill gave the team 29 starts and 148.1 innings while posting a 4.98 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 110:69 K:BB. He's headed for a raise this offseason in his final year of arbitration eligibility, so it's possible Colorado attempts to move him rather than pay him what could be eight figures to fill a rotation spot.
Sep 22 2024Quantrill did not factor into the decision against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks over 4.2 innings while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill retired eight of the first nine batters he faced before allowing a walk to Shohei Ohtani followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Mookie Betts. The right-hander then surrendered a third run in the fourth and did not make it through the fifth after reaching 100 pitches. Quantrill has now issued four or more walks in three consecutive starts and at least two walks in nine straight. He's also winless over his last four starts, surrendering multiple runs in each of those outings, and hasn't gotten through six innings since July 24 against the Red Sox (a span of seven starts).
Sep 15 2024Quantrill (8-10) allowed two runs on four hits and six walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had a short stay on the injured list due to a tricep injury, but he didn't look good in his return. He threw 69 pitches, with just 34 of them being strikes, while the six walks were a season high in his shortest appearance of the year. There was no report of another injury after the game, so this appears to just be a poor performance at this time. Quantrill has struggled to a 4.68 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 105:63 K:BB through 140.1 innings over 27 starts this season. His next start is tentatively projected to be a tough one on the road versus the Dodgers.
Sep 14 2024Quantrill (triceps) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Cubs at Coors Field, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was placed on the IL with right triceps inflammation on Sept. 1, one day after he was scratched from his scheduled start against the Orioles. He looks like he'll be ready to return to action in close to the minimum 15 days, and he didn't require a rehab assignment after the Rockies were encouraged by how the right-hander fared during his throwing program. That being said, manager Bud Black suggested that Quantrill will have his workload monitored carefully Sunday, with 70-to-85 pitches floated as a rough estimate.
Sep 1 2024The Rockies placed Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had been in line to start Sunday's series finale with the Orioles at Coors Field, but he was scratched a day in advance after experiencing right triceps inflammation. According to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, Quantrill's injury isn't considered significant, with manager Bud Black noting that the right-hander is expected to return from the IL before the end of September. Ty Blach was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Quantrill's spot on the active roster and in the rotation.
Aug 31 2024Quantrill will not start in Sunday's series finale against the Orioles due to right triceps inflammation, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill made his last start Tuesday against the Marlins, when he allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two across 5.2 innings in a no decision. The 29-year-old right-hander has struggled over his seven starts since the All-Star break, posting a 2-2 record with a 6.06 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB over 35.2 innings. It's unclear whether the triceps injury will keep him out of his next start, which is pencilled in for Sept. 7 against the Brewers. Southpaw Ty Blach will be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and start Sunday.
Aug 27 2024Quantrill allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings to take a no-decision versus the Marlins on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The five walks matched his season high. Quantrill exited in line for the win, but the Rockies' ninth-inning collapse denied him his ninth victory. The veteran right-hander has allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 35.2 innings since the All-Star break, and he's posted a 25:18 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 4.63 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 103:57 K:BB through 138 innings over 26 starts this year. Quantrill's next start is projected to be at home this weekend versus the Orioles.
Aug 22 2024Quantrill (8-9) took the loss Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill retired the side in order during three of his five innings, with the lone blemish against his line coming in the third inning when he allowed one walk and a couple of singles, capped by a two-out base knock by James Wood that drove in two. It was just the third time Quantrill has allowed two runs over at least five innings over his last 11 starts. During that stretch, Quantrill has a 2-5 record with a 6.41 ERA and 1.59 WHIP and 45 strikeouts over 53.1 innings. He's next scheduled to face the Marlins in the high altitude of Coors Field.
Aug 16 2024Quantrill (8-8) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was scratched from a start earlier in the week due to forearm soreness. It doesn't appear to be a lingering issue at this point, as he threw 92 pitches Friday, though he gave up two home runs to Ha-Seong Kim and Xander Bogaerts. Quantrill hasn't pitched into the sixth inning in three starts, giving up 13 runs over 13 innings in that span. He's now at a 4.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 97:50 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 24 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Nationals.
Aug 13 2024Quantrill (forearm) is scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Padres at Coors Field, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had previously been lined up to take the hill for Monday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks, but he was pushed back in the pitching schedule after experiencing soreness at the top of his right forearm coming out of his most recent start Aug. 4 in San Diego. The right-hander said that he was able to resume throwing Saturday, so assuming he's able to make it out of a bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday no worse for the wear, he shouldn't face any restrictions when he toes the rubber Friday in Colorado.
Aug 10 2024Quantrill has general forearm soreness and will not start Monday's game against Arizona as previously scheduled, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies had already pushed back Quantrill's start from Saturday to Monday, but it's now unknown when he'll make his next start. Quantrill's forearm soreness stems from his previous start, when he allowed three runs across 4.1 innings against the Padres. The left-hander should be expected to undergo further testing in the coming days, but for now, it doesn't seem Quantrill will need an IL stint.
Aug 5 2024Quantrill (7-8) took the loss Sunday against the Padres, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Padres worked a run off of Quantrill in the second after they led off the inning with a single and a double that scored Xander Bogaerts from first. Quantrill would later surrender two more runs in the fifth, both off of solo homers from Kyle Higashioka and Jurickson Profar. Quantrill has now failed to go at least five innings in consecutive starts and in three of his last five. He only has one win since June 11 and has been exhibiting some control issues of late, walking multiple batters in five of his last six outings. Quantrill now owns a 4.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 92:48 K:BB in 122.1 innings and lines up to face Atlanta in his next start over the weekend.
Jul 30 2024Quantrill allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies led 6-2 after the second inning, but Quantrill let the Angels pull ahead by the end of the fourth. He was able to avoid a loss, but this was arguably his worst start of the season. He failed to complete five innings in two of his five starts in July, allowing 20 runs (19 earned) over 22.2 innings. For the season, he's posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 90:45 K:BB through 118 innings over 22 starts. Quantrill is projected to make his next start at San Diego this weekend.
Jul 24 2024Quantrill (7-7) earned the win Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was solid Wednesday and got more than enough run support in an eventual 20-7 Rockies victory. It's the 29-year-old Quantrill's first win since June 11, though he's now turned in back-to-back quality starts. His ERA sits at 4.09 through 21 starts (114.1 innings) this season with a 1.34 WHIP and 86:43 K:BB. Quantrill's tentatively lined up to face the Angels at home in his next outing.
Jul 19 2024Quantrill yielded three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out five during the win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning and another in the third. Unfortunately for him, the Rockies didn't take the lead until the eighth inning, so he's still searching for his first win since June 11. In six starts since that last victory, Quantril has posted a 6.44 ERA through 29.1 frames. He's now sporting a 4.15 ERA with an 83:41 K:BB through 108.1 innings Quantrill's next appearance is currently lined up to be at home against the Red Sox.
Jul 10 2024Quantrill (6-7) took the loss Tuesday as the Rockies fell 12-6 to the Reds, giving up five runs on four hits and a walk over two innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Three of the four hits off the right-hander went for extra bases, including homers by Tyler Stephenson and Will Benson in the second inning. Quantrill has been taken deep five times in his last two road starts, so even being away from Coors Field isn't offering much of a respite for him. Over his last five outings he's saddled with a 6.94 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB through 23.1 innings. Quantrill will try to turn things around in his last start before the All-Star break, which is scheduled to come on the road against the Mets this weekend.
Jul 5 2024Quantrill did not factor into the decision in a win over the Brewers on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill struggled with his command throughout the night, needing 28 pitches to get through the opening frame before issuing three walks in the fourth. The right-hander had posted a 13:1 K:BB over his previous two starts coming in, though he's now allowed 19 hits over his last three outings (16.1 innings). Quantrill will look to earn his first win since June 11 when the Rockies travel to Cincinnati next week to take on the Reds.
Jun 29 2024Quantrill (6-6) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over 5.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill opened with four scoreless innings before allowing a two-run home run to Lenyn Sosa in the fifth. He had a rough sixth frame, surrendering a solo homer to Luis Robert Jr. and a two-run shot to Paul DeJong before being pulled at 90 pitches. This was the first time Quantrill didn't walk a batter in an start since May 3, but he was burned by the long ball and has now yielded 11 earned runs over his last three outings. On the season, the 29-year-old owns a 3.78 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 72:34 K:BB over 95.1 innings and lines up to face the Brewers next week.
Jun 23 2024Quantrill did not factor into the decision in a win over the Nationals on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings while striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Most of the damage against Quantrill came in the third when CJ Abrams tagged him for a leadoff double to open the inning before then advancing to third on a balk. The right-hander would go on to surrender two runs in the frame before later giving up a leadoff homer to Abrams in the fifth, though the former was still able to get through six innings for the seventh time in his last 10 starts. Quantrill has given up three or fewer runs in four consecutive outings, though he's also allowed seven hits in each of his last two.
Jun 17 2024Quantrill (6-5) took the loss against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out three batters over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill came into the contest having tossed back-to-back scoreless starts, but he wasn't able to maintain that level of sharpness Monday. The right-hander fell behind 3-0 through two frames, and though he held Los Angeles scoreless for the remainder of his outing, he didn't get the run support necessary to be taken off the hook for the loss. Quantrill has had a few poor appearances this season but has generally been a positive addition to the Rockies' rotation, recording a 3.43 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 59:33 K:BB through 84 innings.
Jun 11 2024Quantrill (6-4) picked up the win Tuesday against Minnesota, allowing three hits and one walk with five strikeouts across six scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill has gone 11 straight innings without allowing a run and issued fewer than two walks for the first time in four starts. The 29-year-old didn't yield an extra-base hit Tuesday and didn't let a runner get past second base, qualifying for his sixth quality start in his last eight outings. While his strikeout stuff has been hit-or-miss, Quantrill owns a 6-1 record and a 1.91 ERA since the start of May. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Dodgers at Coors Field on Monday. Quantrill allowed four runs in 4.1 innings when he faced the Dodgers in Los Angeles on June 1.
Jun 6 2024Quantrill (5-4) allowed three hits and four walks while striking out one over five scoreless innings to earn the win Thursday over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was fortunate not to give up any runs after a less-than-sharp outing. He's walked multiple batters in five of his last six starts and nine of his 13 outings overall, including three starts with four or more walks. The right-hander is now at a 3.58 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 51:29 K:BB over 73 innings this season. Quantrill is projected to make his next start on the road in Minnesota.
Jun 1 2024Quantrill (4-4) allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had logged five straight quality starts, but this was always going to be a tough matchup, even away from Coors Field. The Dodgers got to him for two runs in the second inning and never looked back. Quantrill has still put together a respectable first season with the Rockies, posting a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB over 68 innings across 12 starts. His 3.3 BB/9 is still a holdover concern from last year, and he'll never be one to strike out a lot of batters, but he's generally been reliable. Quantrill's next start is projected to be at St. Louis.
May 26 2024Quantrill (4-3) allowed two runs on three hits an two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill held the Phillies off the scoreboard through three frames before giving up a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings. He forced 18 whiffs, blowing by his previous season high of 12. Quantrill produced his fifth straight quality start, going 4-0 with a 1.71 ERA during that span. Prior to this hot streak, he was 0-3 with a 5.34 ERA to begin the year. Quantrill now owns a 3.53 ERA and a 49:23 K:BB through 63.2 innings. He's now in line for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers next weekend.
May 22 2024Quantrill did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill surrendered a third-inning home run to J.D. Davis and later allowed the A's to scratch across an additional run in the sixth after JJ Bleday tripled before scoring on a wild pitch. Quantrill was in line for a fourth consecutive win after exiting the contest but that was eventually spoiled after the bullpen coughed up three runs between the seventh and eighth innings. The 29-year-old nearly matched his season-high in strikeouts. His strikeout rate this season is up to 18.6 percent, which is a significant improvement from 13.1 last year. Quantrill now owns a 3.59 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB in 57.2 innings and faces a tough test ahead of him against the Phillies over the weekend.
May 15 2024Quantrill (3-3) earned the win over the Padres on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill has now won three straight decisions while allowing just two runs over his last 19.2 innings pitched. He blanked the Padres through six frames and was pulled after surrendering a leadoff walk to Jurickson Profar in the seventh, who would end up scoring in the inning. Dating back to April 15, Quantrill has allowed one or fewer runs in five of his six starts and is now down to a 3.66 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 36:20 K:BB in 51.2 innings. He'll look to keep the momentum going, as he tentatively lines up for a road start against the Athletics next week.
May 9 2024Quantrill (2-3) earned the win over San Francisco on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters over six innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The only run and only extra-base hit Quantrill allowed came on a fourth-inning Michael Conforto solo homer. The right-handed hurler was otherwise in control throughout, as no other baserunner reached third base against him. Quantrill picked up his second straight win, and he has five quality starts over his past six appearances. That gives him some fantasy viability, but given his home park, mediocre strikeout numbers and season 3.94 ERA, he's probably still best reserved for deeper leagues.
May 3 2024Quantrill (1-3) picked up the win Friday, scattering three hits over 7.2 scoreless innings in a 3-2 victory over the Pirates. He struck out nine without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the first time all season, the Rockies never trailed at any point in the game, and that was largely thanks to Quantrill. The right-hander generated 34 called or swinging strikes over his 99 pitches as he set a new season high in strikeouts -- in fact, the nine Ks were his highest single-game total since 2021, when he fanned 10 Tigers while with Cleveland. The quality start was Quantrill's fourth of the year in seven trips to the mound, but he got tagged for 15 runs over 14 frames in the other three. He'll take a 4.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 26:14 K:BB through 39.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Giants.
Apr 28 2024Quantrill (0-3) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Astros after he surrendered six runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill generated just six swinging strikes on 95 total pitches and served up multiple home runs in a start for the third time this year. He also walked multiple batters for the fourth time through six outings, and the poor performance ended a run of three straight quality starts. The 29-year-old righty has limited fantasy appeal with a 5.34 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB across 32 innings this season.
Apr 21 2024Quantrill pitched six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and five walks while striking out four batters in Colorado's 2-1 extra-inning win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Mariners. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill didn't have his best command Sunday, walking a season-high five batters while throwing 62 of his 108 total pitches for strikes. In the end though, he was able to notch his first scoreless outing of the year while extending his quality start streak to three outings in a row. After a slow start to the 2024 campaign, Quantrill now owns a 4.33 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 27 innings in five starts this season. The 29-year-old's next projected start is expected to be Saturday at home versus the Astros.
Apr 15 2024Quantrill didn't factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with one strikeout during 6.0 innings against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill notched his second straight quality start and yielded fewer than three runs for the first time in 2023. Despite making three of his first four starts away from Coors Field, Quantrill owns a 5.57 ERA and an 11:7 K:BB through 21.0 innings. After their series in Philadelphia, the Rockies will play their next nine games at home, with Quantrill tentatively lined up to face the Mariners on Sunday before seeing either the Padres or Astros in his following start.
Apr 10 2024Quantrill (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on eight hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill struck out a season-high six batters in his first quality start of the year, but he fell victim to the long ball, allowing home runs to Corbin Carroll and Randal Grichuk. Both of those home runs came in the first two innings, as Quantrill was able to settle in and throw four shutout frames afterwards. It's been a rough go early for the 29-year-old and he'll take a 7.20 ERA and 1.73 WHIP into his next start on the road against Philadelphia.
Apr 4 2024Quantrill allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had control issues in the outing, though most of his struggles came in the second inning, when he walked three batters and gave up all four of the runs against him. He at least managed to retire five of the final six batters he faced, but he was pulled after the fourth frame having thrown 90 pitches. Quantrill's tenure in Colorado has not gotten off to a good beginning, as he's given up nine earned runs across his first nine innings and has posted a 4:5 K:BB along with a 2.00 WHIP.
Mar 29 2024Quantrill (0-1) yielded five runs on nine hits and a walk over five-plus innings Friday, striking out one and taking a loss against Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill served up back-to-back home runs to Lourdes Gurriel and Christian Walker in the first inning. Through five frames, Quantrill had allowed just three runs but was charged with two more in the sixth after putting two runners on base. The 29-year-old right posted a disappointing 5.24 ERA across 99.2 innings in 2023 and the outlook doesn't seem much better for him as a Rockie in 2024. Quantrill is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Cubs next week.
Mar 24 2024Quantrill will start the second game of the regular season against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was hit hard in his final outing of spring training, but he's still set to follow Kyle Freeland in the rotation as the Rockies' second starter. Positively, he's worked 4.2 innings in each of his last two starts, so he should be able to handle a full workload to begin the campaign.
Mar 17 2024Quantrill allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.2 scoreless innings in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill made his longest appearance of the spring and tallied his first strikeout of the exhibition season. Despite the lack of swing and miss, he's been effective, allowing only three earned runs across 10.2 frames. Quantrill will be relied upon as a key part of the Rockies' rotation, though he's likely to find consistent success hard to come by given his contact-heavy approach at Coors Field.
Mar 4 2024Quantrill completed two innings while allowing two hits and one run with no strikeouts or walks in his Cactus League debut with the Rockies on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill will serve a key role in the Rockies' rotation during the regular season after being acquired by the team this offseason. He had a strong debut with the club, focusing on pumping his splitter and sinker into the strike zone. His ability to use those pitches consistently will be a key to his success, as he'll want to keep the ball on the ground while pitching in one of the more hitter-friendly home parks in the league.
Jan 10 2024The Rockies and Quantrill avoided arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $6.55 million contract, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Colorado acquired Quantrill from Cleveland back in November and it has now locked him into a contract for the 2024 campaign. The right-hander posted a disappointing 5.24 ERA and 58:35 K:BB over 99.2 innings in 2023 but held a career 3.54 mark heading into the season. Quantrill will open 2024 in the Rockies' rotation but won't be a desirable fantasy option.
Nov 14 2023Quantrill was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Qunatrill was a reliable member of Cleveland's starting rotation between 2021-22 before stumbling to a 5.24 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 58:35 K:BB over 99.2 innings in 2023. The 28-year-old right-hander can elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed and would actually probably do quite well for himself in this pitching-thin market.
Sep 29 2023Quantrill (4-7) earned the win Friday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was knocked around Friday night and yielded the most runs and hits of any September start. However, even with the less-than-stellar outing, the 28-year-old righty ends the month with a solid 2.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB over 32.2 innings. Quantrill turned his season around dramatically as he entered September with a 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB over 67 innings.
Sep 23 2023Quantrill (3-7) took the loss against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out four batters over four innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: That Quantrill was able to escape the outing with just one run charged to his ledger is pretty impressive given that he allowed nine baserunners over four frames. Baltimore left eight runners on base while Quantrill was in the contest, including five over his final two innings. The right-hander was lifted after 93 pitches, snapping a streak of four straight outings during which he went at least 5.2 frames. Quantrill figures to have one more regular-season start left, which tentatively lines up to come next weekend in Detroit.
Sep 18 2023Quantrill did not factor into the decision Monday against the Royals after allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill's outing on Monday was his fourth consecutive start allowing two runs or fewer, dating back to Sept. 1. Over that span, he has thrown 23.2 innings with a 1.90 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB. Quantrill looks to keep the quality work going in his next start scheduled at home against Baltimore this weekend.
Sep 12 2023Quantrill (3-6) allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill's lone mistake was a Blake Sabol solo home run in the fifth inning. Since returning from a shoulder injury, Quantrill has tossed three straight quality starts, allowing just three runs over 18 innings in that span. He's now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 48:30 K:BB through 85 innings over 16 starts this season. The 28-year-old is projected for a favorable road start in Kansas City in his next outing.
Sep 8 2023Quantrill pitched six scoreless innings against the Angels on Thursday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was excellent in the outing, holding Los Angeles to three singles and allowing multiple baserunners in just one frame. The right-hander looked to be in line to have his seven-start winless streak snapped when the Guardians put up two runs in the half-inning following his departure, but Emmanuel Clase blew a save opportunity in the ninth to hold Quantrill to a no-decision. Despite the disappointing finish, Cleveland has to be happy with how Quantrill has pitched since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list Sept. 1. In two outings since rejoining the rotation, he's posted two quality starts while allowing two runs on five hits over 12 frames.
Sep 1 2023Quantrill allowed two runs on two hits and three walks over six innings in Friday's win over Tampa Bay. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was on an MLB mound for the first time since July 5 and settled in nicely after allowing a run in each of the first two innings. It was the first time he completed at least six innings since May 13. The 28-year-old lowered his season ERA to 6.16 with a 40:25 K:BB through 73 innings. Quantrill is currently projected for a road outing against the Angels next week.
Aug 28 2023Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list Sept. 1 and will likely start in the Guardians' series opener with the Rays that day, Julia Kreuz of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Cleveland hasn't confirmed that Quantrill will be activated this week, the club already reopened a spot for him in the rotation by designating right-hander Noah Syndergaard for assignment Sunday. The transaction came after Quantrill looked sharp in his fourth and final rehab start Saturday, when he struck out six and allowed two runs on five hits and no walks over 7.1 innings in a win for Triple-A Columbus. Th 28-year-old tossed 89 pitches in the outing and should be fully stretched out as he steps back into the Cleveland rotation during the final month of the season.
Aug 26 2023Quantrill (shoulder) will make a fourth and final rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Columbus before being reinstated from the 15-day injured list, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Quantrill looks to be just about fully stretched out for starting duty after he built up to 5.1 innings and 84 pitches his last time out for Columbus on Aug. 20, both he and the Guardians determined that he could benefit from one more tune-up outing in the minors prior to being activated from the IL. Despite increasing his workload in his previous start for Columbus, Quantrill's results (three strikeouts, six earned runs allowed on six hits and three walks) still left something to be desired. Quantrill will be targeting 95 pitches in Saturday's outing and will hope to show sharper command before getting the green light to rejoin the Cleveland rotation. He'll tentatively line up for a Sept. 1 return from the IL and could bump either of Xzavion Curry or Noah Syndergaard from the rotation once reinstated.
Aug 21 2023Quantrill (shoulder) tossed 5.1 innings and struck out three while giving up six earned runs on six hits and three walks in his third rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Columbus. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Guardians were likely hoping for a sharper outing for Quantrill on Sunday in what's expected to be his final rehab start, but despite his struggles, the right-hander still managed to build up to 84 pitches (54 strikes). Assuming Quantrill checked out fine physically following the start for Columbus, he'll likely be activated from the 15-day injured list over the upcoming weekend to make his next appearance with the Guardians during their series in Toronto. Unless the Guardians elect to expand their rotation to six men, either Noah Syndergaard or Xzavion Curry would seemingly be most at risk of ceding his starting role to Quantrill.
Aug 17 2023Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to throw around 85 pitches Sunday in his third minor-league rehab start, Joe Noga of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill got roughed up in his rehab debut last Wednesday with Triple-A Columbus before bouncing back to work 3.2 innings of one-run ball this past Tuesday with Double-A Akron. If all goes well Sunday on the farm, he should be able to return to the Guardians' rotation late next week. The 28-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since July 6 due to shoulder inflammation.
Aug 14 2023Quantrill (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next rehab appearance with Double-A Akron on Tuesday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill will require at least one more tune-up outing in the minors after he was blasted for six earned runs on six hits and two walks over 1.1 innings in his first rehab start at Triple-A Columbus last Wednesday. Despite Quantrill's poor results, Guardians manager Terry Francona said that the organization was encouraged by the right-hander's velocity and other metrics in the start. Depending on how he fares Tuesday, Quantrill could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list as early as this coming Sunday, though a return next week appears more realistic at this juncture.
Aug 7 2023Quantrill (shoulder) faced hitters in a simulated game at Double-A Akron on Friday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill returned to Cleveland following the live session, and assuming team doctors are satisfied with the condition on his shoulder, he could report back to Akron or another affiliate during the upcoming week for a rehab assignment. On the shelf since July 6 with the inflamed right shoulder, Quantrill may require more than one rehab outing to get fully stretched out before the Guardians add him back to their rotation.
Jul 6 2023Cleveland placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill missed most of June with the very same issue. He had surrendered 11 earned runs in 7.2 innings (two starts) since being activated June 30 and heads back to the IL with a 2-6 record and 6.45 ERA in 13 starts this year.
Jul 5 2023Quantrill (2-6) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering five runs on 11 hits over 4.1 innings as the Guardians fell 8-1 to Atlanta. He struck out three without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was the latest victim of an Atlanta offense that seems unstoppable right now, as Quantrill got tagged for four runs in the top of the first inning. He's lost four straight starts, two on either side of a month-long absence due to shoulder inflammation, and Quantrill holds a 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB through 67 innings on the year. His spot in the Cleveland rotation is by no means secure coming out of the All-Star break.
Jul 1 2023Quantrill (2-5) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had been dealing with shoulder inflammation but was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday's contest and made his first MLB start since May 30. The right-hander got into trouble the second time through the order and was eventually tagged for six runs, raising his ERA to 6.18 through 12 appearances. He has now allowed at least six runs in three straight starts and boasts a horrendous 6:7 K:BB during that stretch. It's encouraging to see Quantrill back in the big leagues, but he's not a strong fantasy option at the moment.
Jun 30 2023Quantrill was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will rejoin the Guardians' rotation for a road start against the Cubs after missing the last four weeks with right shoulder inflammation. Quantrill was sharp in his lone rehab outing, but he threw only 58 pitches so his workload figures to be limited Friday. Considering his 5.61 ERA in 11 starts this season, he's not a great fantasy play even before factoring in those restrictions.
Jun 27 2023Quantrill (shoulder) will return to the Guardians' rotation Friday against the Cubs, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill looked sharp in his lone minor-league rehab start Sunday at Double-A Akron, scattering three hits and one walk over five scoreless innings. He tallied three strikeouts in the 58-pitch outing. The 28-year-old right-hander might be limited a bit Friday at Wrigley Field, but he's ready to rock following a four-week absence for a bout of shoulder inflammation.
Jun 26 2023Quantrill (shoulder) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three over five scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Akron. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill threw 58 pitches (38 strikes), so it seems likely he'll need at least one more rehab start to stretch out closer to a starter's workload. The right-hander has been on the injured list since June 2. Once he's ready to rejoin the major-league roster, one of Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen or Gavin Williams would likely be optioned out unless the Guardians opt to go with a six-man rotation to build in extra rest for their rookie pitchers.
Jun 23 2023Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to begin his rehab assignment Sunday with Double-A Akron, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was initially expected to take the mound Friday for Triple-A Columbus before the change of plans. He's expected to rejoin the Guardians on their road trip in Kansas City next week if all goes well in his rehab start.
Jun 20 2023Quantrill (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Columbus, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Right shoulder inflammation sent Quantrill to the injured list June 2. It's unclear how long he'll spend on assignment, but the Guardians could keep him down for multiple starts to ensure he gets back on track after allowing 14 runs over his last two major-league starts.
Jun 2 2023Quantrill was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill has been struggling mightily on the mound recently, surrendering 14 runs through 8.1 innings across his last two starts. A trip to the IL will ensure that he feels 100 percent ahead of his next start and could help him return to his usual self. Aaron Civale (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and will take Quantrill's spot in Cleveland's rotation.
Jun 1 2023Quantrill will be placed on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right shoulder inflammation, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill's shoulder injury could help explain his recent struggles, as he allowed eight runs through 4.1 innings during his last start Tuesday. He received an injection Thursday and will be shut down for a few days before beginning a throwing program. Quantrill's move to the IL will make room for Aaron Civale (oblique) to return Friday.
May 30 2023Quantrill (2-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Orioles. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After posting three consecutive quality starts to start the month, Quantrill has now allowed 17 runs over his last three starts (14 innings). The 28-year-old right-hander's ERA is up to 5.61 with a 1.42 WHIP and 34:20 K:BB across 59.1 innings this season. With Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) nearing returns and rookies Tanner Bibee and Logan Allen both pitching at a high level, Quantrill's spot in the Guardians' rotation may be in jeopardy.
May 24 2023Quantrill (2-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks over 4 innings against the White Sox. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was solid through his first three innings, holding Chicago to just one run on one hit. However, he unraveled in the fourth, allowing the first three baserunners to reach, eventually surrendering five more runs. Quantrill's ERA is up to 4.75 with a 1.35 WHIP and 31:18 K:BB. He's a risky fantasy option heading into his next start, tentatively lined up for next week in Baltimore.
May 19 2023Quantrill allowed three runs on six hits over 5.2 innings during Friday's loss to the Mets. He stuck out six and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill rolled through four shutout frames before allowing two runs in the fifth inning, including Francisco Alvarez's solo shot. Brett Baty then drilled a solo homer in the sixth. Quantrill failed to complete six innings for the first time since April 24 and gave up multiple home runs for the first time in 2023. He's now sporting a 4.06 ERA across 51 frames. Quantrill is projected for a home matchup against the White Sox next week.
May 13 2023Quantrill did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over six innings against the Angels. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill came back to earth after throwing seven innings of one-hit baseball in his last start, giving up three runs and earning yet another quality start. The Angels got to Quantrill early, with Mickey Moniak slugging a solo homer to lead off the first inning before a two-run, one-hit, two-walk third frame brought the advantage to 3-0 in favor of LAA. Though Quantrill is known for his ability to limit damage and generate ground balls, his 1.53 K/BB rate this season makes it difficult for the 28-year-old to climb the fantasy ranks. Quantrill is in line for a meeting with the Mets next week, who strike out the third-fewest times per game in MLB (7.53).
May 7 2023Quantrill (2-2) earned the win Sunday, tossing seven scoreless innings in which he allowed one hit and three walks during a 2-0 victory over the Twins. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill took a no-hit bid into the seventh but surrendered a two-out single to Alex Kirilloff. The right-hander has completed at least seven innings in back-to-back starts and notched his second scoreless outing of the season, lowering his ERA from 4.73 to 3.89. Quantrill has a few bumpy appearances so far and isn't striking many batters out (21:12 K:BB through 39.1 innings), but he appears to be on the right track recently and will look to make it three straight quality starts next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for a three-game weekend set versus the Angles.
May 2 2023Quantrill did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over 7.1 innings in a 3-2 win over the Yankees. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill surrendered a solo home run to Jose Trevino and an RBI single to DJ LeMahieu in the third, but other than that, the right-hander was sharp through a season-high 7.1 innings. It was a strong bounce-back performance for Quantrill, who was coming off his worst outing of the season (five earned runs over 3.1 innings versus Colorado). Despite the quality start Monday, he's still struggling with the long ball (four homers allowed over six starts) and isn't striking many batters out (17:9 K:BB through 32.1 innings).
Apr 2 2023Quantrill did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.2 innings during a win over the Mariners. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill worked exclusively as a starter last season for the first time in his career, and he posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 32 starts. He had a 16.6 percent strikeout rate that ranked second-worst among qualified pitchers, but it was encouraging to see him limit runs while generating a 15-5 record. Although Quantrill gave up five runs Sunday, he was able to settle for a no-decision in a game that lasted 10 innings. Following Sunday's lackluster outing, the right-hander tentatively lines up for a rematch against the Mariners at home Saturday.
Feb 27 2023Quantrill worked to refine his curveball and add a splitter to his arsenal during the offseason, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill's search for new and revised pitches comes from the fact that he doesn't often boast swing-and-miss stuff. His 6.2 K/9 last season was the lowest of his career, though his 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP were perfectly fine as a middle-of-the-rotation starter. It's unclear how much the right-hander will bump up his curveball usage -- he threw it around four percent of the time in 2022, and he's still workshopping the splitter in spring training. In fantasy, Quantrill will again likely stabilize ratios without adding much to the strikeout total.
Jan 13 2023Quantrill and the Guardians agreed on a one-year, $5.55 million contract Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill and the organization will avoid arbitration after being able to strike a deal Friday. The right-hander is coming off a strong season in 2022, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 128 punchouts over 186.1 innings in 32 starts with Cleveland.
Oct 4 2022Quantrill (15-5) earned the win Tuesday over Kansas City, striking out four in five innings while allowing a run on four hits. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill scattered two singles over the first four innings Tuesday, holding the Royals scoreless. After retiring the first two batters in the fifth, he gave up consecutive hits and a run came around to score. The righty allowed one run in each of his last three starts, lowering his ERA for the season to 3.38. He is likely to get the start in Game 3 of the AL Wild Card series if that game is necessary.
Sep 30 2022Quantrill did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on three hits over six innings against the Rays. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill allowed an RBI single from David Peralta to open the scoring in the first inning but was without blemishes after that. The righty has put together a good stretch in his last eight games, recording a 2.38 ERA over 45.1 innings. In addition, the 27-year-old has turned in seven quality starts in his last 11 outings.
Sep 24 2022Quantrill (14-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on five hits over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out four and walked three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill (14-5) was solid for six innings outside of a solo home run he served up to Marcus Semien in the third. The right-hander did walk two batters in the fifth inning but managed to escape without allowing any damage. Quantrill has now won his last 10 decisions and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last seven starts. He'll look to extend his winning streak against the Royals at home next week.
Sep 19 2022Quantrill (13-5) allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win over Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It wasn't the most impressive outing from Quantrill but Cleveland's lineup provided more than enough support for him to win his ninth consecutive decision. He tossed three scoreless frames before the Twins scored two runs in the fourth inning. Since Quantrill's last loss July 5, he's registered a 3.24 ERA over 14 starts, lowering his season ERA to 3.56 in the process. He's expected to take the mound in Texas this weekend.
Sep 14 2022Quantrill allowed three earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out six across seven innings Wednesday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The primary damage against Quantrill came on a two-run homer by Mickey Moniak in the third inning. He pitched well otherwise and got timely outs, highlighted by two double-play groundouts. Quantrill has also seen an uptick in his strikeout rate of late by punching out at least six hitters in four of his last seven starts -- something he did only once across his first 21 outings of the campaign. Across 164 innings on the season, Quantrill has maintained a 3.51 ERA and a 114:43 K:BB.
Sep 10 2022Quantrill (12-5) gave up two runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings to earn the win in a 7-6 victory over the Twins on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill came through for his team in an intense divisional game with playoff implications. The 27-year-old right-hander gave up nine hits, but he kept the ball in the yard and lasted just long enough to earn the win on 96 pitches. The seven strikeouts are tied for his season high and he lowered his ERA to a respectable 3.50 with the performance. He will carry a WHIP of 1.22 into his next expected start against the Angels.
Sep 4 2022Quantrill allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was charged with individual runs in the first, third and fourth innings, the last of those coming after he was out of the game following a lengthy rain delay. He left in line for his first loss in 11 outings, but the Guardians rallied to tie the game in the eighth inning to get him off the hook. He's allowed multiple runs just twice in his last six starts, and he now has a 3.55 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 101:42 K:BB through 152 innings across 26 outings. The 27-year-old righty is projected for a road start in Minnesota next weekend.
Aug 30 2022Quantrill (11-5) earned the victory Tuesday against Baltimore, striking out four in six innings while allowing a run on a hit and three walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All four baserunners Quantrill allowed reached in either the second or third inning. He otherwise mowed through the lineup, including retiring the last 10 batters he faced. The 27-year-old pitched at least six innings in all six of his August starts and compiled a 4-0 record with a 2.13 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB in 38 innings during the month. In his next start, he's likely to pass 150 innings pitched, setting a new career high.
Aug 24 2022Quantrill (10-5) allowed five hits and a walk while striking out six over seven shutout innings to earn the win Wednesday over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was able to keep his former team quiet. This was the right-hander's third scoreless outing in his last four starts. He's allowed eight runs in 32 innings in August, good for a 2.25 ERA with a 23:5 K:BB. For the season, he's pitched to a 3.59 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 94:38 K:BB through 143 innings across 24 starts. Quantrill is projected for a home start versus the Orioles next week.
Aug 18 2022Quantrill did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Tigers. He struck out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill surrendered a home run to third baseman Willi Castro to lead off the sixth to squash his attempt at a quality start, which would have been his third straight. The righty has been far more successful at home with a 6-0 record and 3.38 ERA compared to a 3-5 record and 4.34 ERA in road games. The 27-year-old is 5-0 in his last eight starts with a 1.08 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 47.1 innings.
Aug 13 2022Quantrill (9-5) allowed just one hit and struck out seven over seven shutout innings to earn the win Friday over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill put in his best start of the season Friday, with the lone blemish on his line being a Vladimir Guerrero double in the fourth inning. Across his last six starts, Quantrill has kept opponents off the board three times, posting a 2.80 ERA and 0.99 WHIP through 35.1 innings in that span. The 27-year-old right-hander owns a 3.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 86:35 K:BB through 130 innings across 22 starts overall. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Tigers next week.
Aug 7 2022Quantrill (8-5) gave up three hits and a walk while striking out four over six shutout innings to earn the win in a 4-1 victory over the Astros on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill bounced back from a couple of rough starts his last two times out with six big shutout innings against one of the best offenses in the AL. He found success by pitching to contact with his sinker to induce plenty of groundballs and relying on quality defense from the left side of his infield. The 27-year-old right-hander picked up his eighth win and lowered his ERA to 3.88 with the performance. He is tentatively expected to make his next start in front of a hometown crowd at Toronto next week.
Aug 2 2022Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander wasn't particularly sharp, tossing 56 of 94 pitches for strikes, but he left the game with the score tied 4-4. Quantrill hasn't been tagged with a loss in nearly a month, going 3-0 over his last five starts, but that's mostly thanks to the Cleveland offense -- he has a 4.76 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB through 28.1 innings over that stretch.
Jul 27 2022Quantrill allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings versus the Red Sox on Wednesday. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had problems with Bobby Dalbec, who hit a pair of two-run home runs and a sacrifice fly off the Guardians' starter. He left in line for the loss, but Quantrill got off the hook when the Guardians tied the game again in the eighth inning. This was just the third time this season he's allowed multiple homers. The 27-year-old has a 3.97 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 71:33 K:BB across 111 innings in 19 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week.
Jul 23 2022Quantrill (7-5) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in an 8-2 victory over the White Sox. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Guardians jumped out to a 4-0 lead before Quantrill even set foot on the mound, and the right-hander never let Chicago get close. He was wilder than his final line indicated, as he hit two batters with pitches and uncorked a wild pitch, but the White Sox couldn't take advantage. Quantrill exited after 97 pitches (58 strikes), and he'll carry a 3.75 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB through 105.2 innings into his next outing.
Jul 16 2022Quantrill (6-5) earned the win during Saturday's 10-0 victory over Detroit, allowing four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill settled down after stranding the bases loaded and firing 27 pitches in the first inning to prevent any Detroit batter from passing first base the rest of the way, including retiring the final seven batters he faced. The 27-year-old tossed 62 of 100 pitches for strikes with an impressive 14 whiffs as the five strikeouts surprisingly tie his second-best mark this season. Quantrill concludes a solid first half with a 3.75 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 63 strikeouts in 100.2 innings across 17 starts.
Jul 11 2022Quantrill (5-5) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out three and earning a win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was given a 5-0 lead in the first inning, so he had plenty of room to work with. The White Sox got to him in the third with Yoan Moncada's three-run shot. Quantrill then allowed another run in the fourth inning. Despite the shaky outing, the 27-year-old earned his first victory since June 12. Quantrill now owns a 3.99 ERA on the year but a 5.46 ERA over his last five starts. He's lined up to face the Tigers at home this weekend.
Jul 5 2022Quantrill gave up six runs - three of them earned - on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss in an 11-4 defeat to the Tigers on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill (4-5) had his shortest start of the season, lasting only four innings due to a couple of costly errors made behind him which exacerbated his lack of control. The bulk of the damage came in the second inning when Quantrill hit Jonathan Schoop and walked two batters in the inning. The 27-year-old right-hander now has a 55:27 K:BB ratio in 88.2 innings pitched on the season. Look for him to make his next start Monday against the White Sox.
Jun 29 2022Quantrill allowed three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three in eight innings during Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins. He did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill submitted his longest start of the season and his first quality start in his last three outings. The Twins did all their damage against him in the sixth inning with a two-run home run by Alex Kirilloff and a solo shot by Gio Urshela. Quantrill has remained a steady starter this year with a 3.72 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 51:25 K:BB through 84.2 innings. He's projected for a road start versus the Tigers next week.
Jun 24 2022Quantrill allowed two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings during Friday's 6-3 loss to Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill struggled with his command and threw only 55 of his 89 pitches for strikes, but he still delivered a solid line in the no-decision. He served up a solo home run to Rafael Devers during the third inning, and it's the fourth straight start the right-hander has surrendered a long ball. Quantrill will carry a 3.76 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 48:25 K:BB over 76.2 frames into his next start, which currently lines up for Wednesday versus the Twins.
Jun 19 2022Quantrill (4-4) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill came into the contest having logged five consecutive quality starts, but he couldn't keep that streak going Saturday. Among the season-high 10 hits he surrendered, five went for extra bases. Quantrill also had his stretch of three straight wins snapped as his overall record moved to 4-4. After posting a 2.89 ERA in 149.2 innings last season, Quantrill's mark stands at 3.77 through 71.2 frames in 2022.
Jun 12 2022Quantrill (4-3) allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out four in six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill continued his dominant stretch Sunday, as he's earned quality starts in seven of his last eight outings. In spite of his ability to limit runs, he's recorded over five strikeouts just once this season, and he has a lackluster 14.5 percent strikeout rate. The right-hander has a 3.38 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 66.2 innings this year and tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road Saturday against the Dodgers.
Jun 8 2022Quantrill (3-3) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rangers, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was in control through six innings before fading late and serving up a pair of solo shots in the seventh, but the Guardians' offense had supplied him with plenty of cushion in an eventual 6-3 win. The quality start was Quantrill's fourth straight and seventh of the season, and he'll take a 3.56 ERA and 1.20 WHIP into his next outing despite a career-low 14.5 percent strikeout rate.
Jun 6 2022Quantrill's scheduled start Monday against the Rangers has been postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Tuesday. The Guardians haven't announced how they'll adjust their pitching plans, but it's likely Quantrill starts one half of the twin bill.
May 31 2022Quantrill (2-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Royals after giving up three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and zero walks over 6.1 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander limited Kansas City to two runs through six innings, but he was pulled with one out in the seventh after allowing a hit by pitch and a single, and another run came around to score after his exit. It's the third straight quality start for Quantrill, though it's his first win since Opening Day. He has a 3.52 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB across 53.2 innings this season.
May 25 2022Quantrill (1-3) allowed two runs on six hits and four walks over six innings to take the loss against Houston on Wednesday. He struck out three batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was shaky in the start, issuing four free passes and stranding four runners in scoring position. However, he navigated his way through six innings with the Astros putting only two runs on the scoreboard, finishing with his fifth quality start over his past six outings. He hasn't picked up any wins over that stretch though, and he remains stuck on just one victory on the campaign. His 3.42 ERA and 1.23 WHIP overall suggests that he probably deserves better, though a 28:19 K:BB across 47.1 innings is reason for concern. Quantrill is expected to make his next start at home against Kansas City next week.
May 19 2022Quantrill did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the Reds. He gave up one run on five hits and zero walks while striking out five over seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A Tyler Naquin solo homer in the fifth inning accounted for all of the damage against Quantrill, who now sits with a 3.48 ERA through seven starts this season. He once again hung a goose egg in the walk column, so Quantrill seems to be trusting his stuff, but his stuff is not good enough to achieve these kinds of results on a regular basis, especially against better lineups. Quantrill has struck out just 25 batters in 41.1 innings this season and ranks among the bottom 10 qualifiers in strikeout percentage.
May 18 2022Quantrill won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Reds since the game was postponed due to inclement weather. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both teams share a scheduled day off Thursday, so the Wednesday's game will simply be pushed back a day. The Guardians haven't officially announced their pitching plans, but Quantrill is expected to take the mound Thursday.
May 10 2022Quantrill (1-2) took the loss and allowed four runs on 10 hits in 6.1 innings, striking out three in a 4-1 defeat Tuesday against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill scattered four singles over the first four innings, holding Chicago scoreless in those frames. He then allowed multiple hits in the next three innings, the big blow being a two-out, two-run homer by Gavin Sheets in the sixth. It was just the second home run allowed in six starts. The 27-year-old has never been a high strikeout pitcher and has a career-low 5.2 strikeouts per nine innings through 34.1 innings. His next start will likely be early next week against Cincinnati.
May 5 2022Quantrill allowed three runs on three hits and five walks with seven strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Facing his former team, Quantrill was spotty with his control, though it didn't stop him from turning in a third straight quality start. The right-hander has been able to limit his mistakes in 2022 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 17:15 K:BB across 28 innings. The 4.8 BB/9 is concerning, but he's mitigated the damage by allowing just one home run so far. Quantrill lines up for a road start versus the White Sox next week.
Apr 24 2022Quantrill allowed three earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two across 6.1 innings Saturday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill held the Yankees scoreless through four innings, though he allowed runs in two of the the last three frames he pitched. Even so, he wasn't hit particularly hard, as the only extra-base hit he allowed was a solo home run to Josh Donaldson. Quantrill has effectively limited runs to begin the season, as he has maintained a 3.94 ERA, but his 6:7 K:BB across 16 innings suggests that he has been fortunate in his results.
Apr 23 2022Quantrill (illness) will start Saturday against the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Terry Francona said Friday that Quantrill was expected to start Saturday, and he will indeed do just that. Quantrill has been effective to open the season, posting a 3.72 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 9.2 innings over two starts.
Apr 22 2022Manager Terry Francona said the Guardians expect Quantrill (illness) to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list to start Saturday against the Yankees, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old landed on the COVID-19 IL on Wednesday, but it appears he'll only end up spending a few days on the shelf. Quantrill has apparently cleared MLB's testing protocols but still needs to be activated ahead of Saturday's contest.
Apr 20 2022Quantrill was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since Quantrill was placed on the COVID-19 IL, he'll be able to return as soon as he clears the league's testing protocols. Kirk McCarty, Tanner Tully and Enyel De Los Santos had their contracts selected Wednesday, and one of them could start if Quantrill misses a turn in the rotation.
Apr 17 2022Quantrill allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while fanning two across 4.2 innings Saturday against the Giants. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill gave up two runs for the second outing in a row, but he couldn't finish the fifth inning and was lifted after showing command issues -- he tossed 91 pitches (51 strikes) and issued more walks than punchouts. The right-hander has a 4:4 K:BB through his first 9.2 innings of work in 2022 and is expected to make his next start on April 21 against the White Sox at home.
Apr 11 2022Quantrill (1-0) earned the win Sunday over the Royals after giving up two runs on four hits and a walk while fanning two across five innings. He also hit a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill needed 76 pitches to navigate through five innings and while he was far from being perfect, his outing was good enough to earn him his first win of the campaign as the offense backed him up with 13 runs through the first four frames. The right-hander will try to build off this decent season debut when he pitches against the Giants on Saturday.
Mar 22 2022Quantrill signed a one-year, $2.51 million deal with the Guardians on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill recorded a 2.89 ERA last season, but it took some good luck in the form of a .267 BABIP and an 80.0 percent strand rate to get him there. He struck out just 19.6 percent of opposing batters, and while his 7.6 percent walk rate was better than average, that combination doesn't typically add up to an ERA below 3.00. He's locked into a rotation spot this season after spending part of last year in the bullpen, but a repeat of last year's performance seems unlikely.
Sep 30 2021Quantrill will not start during the team's weekend series against Kansas City, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill last started Monday, so he would have lined up to take the ball in the team's final game of the season Sunday. However, Aaron Civale will draw the start in his place as the team looks to build up his innings after he dealt with a sprained finger that cost him over two months of game action. Quantrill ends the season with a strong 2.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP while racking up 121 strikeouts across 149.2 frames.
Sep 27 2021Quantrill (8-3) picked up the win Monday versus the Royals, tossing six innings while giving up three runs on six hits and striking out five. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old gave up a run in the first inning on an RBI-double by Salvador Perez before surrendering two more runs in the third inning. He pitched three scoreless innings to finish the outing, notching his fourth straight quality start. Over that stretch, he has compiled a 1.67 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 4-0 record. He stands to face the Rangers in the season finale Sunday.
Sep 21 2021Quantrill (7-3) earned the win Tuesday after holding the Royals to one run on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out six across 6.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill secured his third straight win and his third consecutive quality start with strong command Tuesday. The 26-year-old blanked Kansas City across the first six frames before Hunter Dozier broke through with a solo homer in the seventh. Otherwise, Quantrill was brilliant, pitching into the seventh inning for the sixth outing in a row. The right-hander will carry a 2.82 ERA and 1.18 WHIP into his next turn on the mound.
Sep 15 2021Quantrill (6-3) went 6.2 innings Wednesday, allowing three unearned runs on two hits and three walks to earn the win against Minnesota. He had four strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old put together six scoreless frames before giving up a three-run homer to Miguel Sano in the seventh. The runs were all unearned, however, due to a Bobby Bradley fielding error two batters earlier that had extended the inning. It was the second straight quality start and second win in a row for Quantrill, who has put together a 2.89 ERA and 110:45 K:BB in 137 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Royals at home in his next scheduled start.
Sep 9 2021Quantrill (5-3) held the Twins to one run on four hits and two walks over 7.2 innings to earn the win Thursday. He also had five strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill bounced back nicely from Friday's poor outing, limiting Minnesota to a Miguel Sano solo homer in the second frame. He managed to pitch into the eighth inning for the first time this season before being lifted with his pitch count at a season-high 109. The 26-year-old Quantrill owns a 3.04 ERA and 106:42 K:BB in 130.1 innings heading into his next start, scheduled to come on the road next week in a rematch with the Twins.
Sep 3 2021Quantrill (4-3) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six-plus innings, taking the loss Friday versus Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander yielded three solo shots in the first four innings, making Friday the first time he's allowed multiple homers since July 10. Quantrill stayed in to begin the seventh inning, but he allowed the first two runners to reach base, and Trevor Stephan failed to work out of the jam. Quantrill has pitched well enough since the All-Star break to consider this a minor hiccup. He has a 3.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 101:40 K:BB through 122.2 innings overall. He's projected for a more favorable home matchup versus Minnesota next week.
Aug 28 2021Quantrill didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Red Sox after allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks while fanning six across seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill posted a second straight quality start, and the right-hander has been pitching extremely well of late. He has given up two or fewer earned runs in eight of his last nine outings while posting a 52:18 K:BB through 55 innings in that stretch.
Aug 22 2021Quantrill (4-2) won Sunday's 3-0 shutout of the Angels, permitting two hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in seven innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill dominated Los Angeles all game and limited rallies to the first and third innings, retiring the final 13 batters he faced. Even more impressive, the young righty fell one strikeout short of his season high and required just 94 pitches to navigate seven innings. Quantrill has lived up to his first-round draft slot in August, compiling a 1.45 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB in five starts, and is slated to make one more turn over the weekend against Boston.
Aug 16 2021Quantrill allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings in Monday's loss to the Twins. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill began the game by serving up a leadoff shot to Max Kepler, the first homer he's allowed since July 27. He later allowed a run in each of the third and fourth innings. It was the first time in seven starts that he allowed more than two runs and his ERA rose slightly to 3.24. The 6-foot-3 righty owns a 1.76 ERA and a 37:14 K:BB over his last seven outings. Quantrill is projected to face the Angels at home this weekend.
Aug 11 2021Quantrill allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in six innings of a no-decision Wednesday against Oakland. He had five strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill turned a 2-0 lead over to the Cleveland bullpen in the seventh inning, but Oakland rallied with a pair of runs to tie the game and hand Quantrill his fourth no-decision in his last five starts. Still, it was another effective outing for the 26-year-old, who has held his opponents to three runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts dating back to the beginning of July. Quantrill is 3-2 in 32 appearances (14 starts) overall this season, producing a 3.13 ERA in 97.2 innings of work. Twenty-one of his 76 strikeouts have come over his last three outings.
Aug 7 2021Quantrill (3-2) picked up the win in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Tigers, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out a career-high 10 without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He retired 15 straight batters at one point, and Detroit only managed to get one runner into scoring position against Quantrill. While the quality of the opposition has to be taken into consideration with Friday's outstanding performance, there's no denying Quantrill has turned a corner. The right-hander has reeled off four straight quality starts, and since the beginning of July he sports a 1.96 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 32:13 K:BB through 41.1 innings.
Aug 1 2021Quantrill allowed one unearned run on three hits and four walks over six innings in Sunday's loss to the White Sox. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill worked through four scoreless innings before plunking Jose Abreu with the bases loaded in the fifth. It was his fourth consecutive start going at least five innings while allowing fewer than two runs, lowering his season ERA to 3.40 through 84.2 frames. Quantrill is projected to face Detroit at home next week.
Jul 27 2021Quantrill allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out five in six innings in a no-decision versus St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the third straight start, Quantrill was able to limit the opposition to one run. The right-hander has settled into a nice groove since the All-Star break as he's been needed to address an injury-riddled Cleveland rotation. For the year, he owns a 3.66 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 55:26 K:BB through 78.2 innings. He'll take a 2-2 record into his next start, tentatively set for this weekend versus the White Sox.
Jul 22 2021Quantrill allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out two in six innings in a no-decision versus Tampa Bay on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This matched Quantrill's longest appearance of the season, and it was also one of his most effective. Unfortunately for the right-hander, James Karinchak's recent struggles continued and denied the starter a win. Through 72.2 innings this year, Quantrill has a 3.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB. He lines up for his next start versus St. Louis next week.
Jul 17 2021Quantrill (2-2) allowed a run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings, earning the win Saturday over Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it wasn't exactly a gem, Quantrill did enough to put Cleveland in position to win. The right-hander has won consecutive starts, but he's still allowed 17 runs in 24 innings across his last five outings. For the year, Quantrill has a 4.05 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB across 66.2 innings. He projects to make his next start versus Tampa Bay next week.
Jul 11 2021Quantrill (1-2) earned the win Saturday against the Royals after allowing three hits on five hits and a walk across six innings, striking out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Aside from earning his first win of the season, Quantrill also picked up his first quality start for the first time in 2021. His strikeout numbers are still far from acceptable, with a 4.1 K/9 over his last five appearances while posting a 6.00 ERA across that same stretch, but he found a way to get the job done here. That said, he's still far from being a reliable asset in most fantasy formats since he struggles to pitch deep into games and doesn't strike out a ton of guys.
Jul 5 2021Quantrill allowed three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Houston on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sunday's outing was the right-hander's longest since he rejoined Cleveland's rotation June 15. Quantrill has still allowed 13 runs in his last 13 innings, but he's likely to continue as a starter while Cleveland's top three pitchers work their way back from injuries. Through 55.2 innings this year, Quantrill has a 4.20 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB. He lines up for his next start versus Kansas City.
Jun 30 2021Quantrill lasted only 3.1 innings during Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Detroit, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander struggled immensely against Detroit's bottom-ten offense, yielding a season-worst eight hits, including three doubles. He allowed a pair of runs in the second inning and another before exiting in the fourth, with the final run on his ledger crossing the plate after his departure. Quantrill has been hit hard over his past two starts, yielding a combined 10 runs and 14 hits across 7.2 frames. He'll try to turn things around in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at Tampa Bay early next week.
Jun 25 2021Quantrill allowed six runs on six hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus Minnesota on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cleveland spotted Quantrill a three-run lead in the first inning, but he couldn't stop Minnesota's comeback. The right-hander allowed a two-run home run to Alex Kirilloff in the third inning. Quantrill worked into trouble again in the fifth, and reliever Nick Sandlin allowed an inherited runner to score. Through 47 innings this year, Quantrill has a 3.64 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB. He'll likely continue to hold a spot in the rotation as Cleveland's top three starters are all injured. The 26-year-old lines up to face Detroit next week.
Jun 20 2021Quantrill didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Pirates after tossing five scoreless innings, allowing three hits and two walks while fanning two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill didn't factor into the decision, but he delivered a strong outing in what was his longest appearance of the campaign. The right-hander has spent most of the season as a reliever but has been moved to the rotation with Shane Bieber (shoulder) recently joining Zach Plesac (finger) on the injured list. Quantrill owns a 2.74 ERA on the season and is slated to make his next start on the road against the Twins next week.
Jun 18 2021Cleveland is tentatively planning to have Quantrill start Saturday's game in Pittsburgh on three days' rest, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Shane Bieber (shoulder) recently joining Zach Plesac (finger) on the injured list, Quantrill has been moved back into the rotation after spending most of the season in the bullpen. He turned in a strong showing as a starter in Tuesday's win over the Orioles, striking out four and allowing one run over four innings. Cleveland capped Quantrill at 60 pitches in that outing, so he likely won't be asked to push far past that level this weekend, especially since he'll be returning to the mound on short rest.
Jun 15 2021Quantrill did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win over Baltimore. He allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four across four innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Aside from giving up an RBI double to Maikel Franco in the second inning, Quantrill looked strong in what was expected to be another abbreviated outing. The 26-year-old has yet to throw more than 60 pitches in any of his 21 appearances this year, and Tuesday was no different as he tossed 41 of his 60 pitches for strikes. Quantrill has shifted between the rotation and the bullpen this season, including his last outing when he pitched two scoreless innings in relief against St. Louis. Overall, the right-hander has compiled a 3.11 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He potentially lines up for a road start at Pittsburgh next week.
Jun 13 2021Quantrill is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A lighter schedule of games last week allowed Cleveland to move Quantrill to the bullpen following his June 6 start -- which also came against Baltimore -- but he'll be needed in the rotation again while the Tribe is in the midst of a stretch of 12 games in 12 days. Given that Quantrill hasn't tossed more than 60 pitches in any of his 20 appearances with the big club this season, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to work more than four or five innings Tuesday.
Jun 11 2021Quantrill worked out of the bullpen Wednesday in Cleveland's 8-2 loss to St. Louis, striking out two over two scoreless frames while giving up one run and one walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill had started in both his previous two outings, but Cleveland opted to temporarily move him out of the rotation after he was lit up for seven runs (five earned) while recording just four outs in a June 6 loss to the Orioles. The right-handed fared better while coming on in relief Wednesday after No. 3 starter Jean Carlos Mejia couldn't make it out of the first inning. Cleveland is expected to add Triston McKenzie from Triple-A Columbus this weekend to step in as the team's fourth starter, but the club will have a need for a No. 5 starter beginning next week while Zach Plesac (thumb) remains on the injured list. Quantrill and Sam Hentges -- who previously made four starts before moving to the bullpen -- could be the leading candidates to fill the opening in the rotation.
Jun 6 2021Quantrill (0-2) allowed seven runs (five earned) on five hits and no walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings to take the loss against the Orioles on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was effective in his first start of the season Monday, but he struggled Sunday. He gave up a solo home run in the first inning and was pulled with one out in the second inning after he gave up four more runs. The right-hander has now posted a 3.41 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 31.2 innings across 19 appearances (two starts) this year. If he remains in the rotation, he tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Mariners on Saturday.
Jun 4 2021Quantrill will start Sunday's game against the Orioles if he's not used out of the bullpen during Friday's series opener, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill got a spot start Monday, allowing one run on four hits across 3.2 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox. He now appears to be a strong candidate to make another start Sunday, though that decision is dependent on his usage in Friday's tilt.
Jun 1 2021Quantrill allowed one run on four hits while striking out five over 3.2 innings against the White Sox on Monday. He did not factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his first start of the season in the back end of a doubleheader, Quantrill pitched well. His lone blemish was an RBI single by Nick Madrigal in the third. The 26-year-old has been impressive with a 2.08 ERA and 25:11 K:BB over 30.1 innings, but his typical low-leverage/multi-inning role out of the bullpen doesn't offer much fantasy upside.
May 31 2021Quantrill is slated to start for Cleveland in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader with the White Sox, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Due to the doubleheader, Cleveland will temporarily shift to a six-man rotation, which paves the way for Quantrill to pick up his first start of 2021. Over his 17 appearances out of the bullpen, Quantrill has logged a 2.03 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB in 26.2 innings. After covering a season-high three innings out of the bullpen in his most recent outing May 26, Quantrill should be stretched out enough to give Cleveland four or five innings Monday. He'll likely shift back to a relief role following the start.
May 27 2021Quantrill (0-1) took the loss in relief Wednesday as Cleveland was downed 1-0 by the Tigers, giving up one run on two hits over three innings. He struck out four without walking a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Triston McKenzie gave Cleveland five scoreless innings, Quantrill got the call and kept the shutout going until the eighth, when a Niko Goodrum leadoff double led to the game's only run. Quantrill tossed 42 pitches (28 strikes) in his longest appearance of the season, but he's still unlikely to be ready for a full workload if, as expected, he makes his first start of the year during Monday's doubleheader.
May 18 2021Quantrill gave up a run on three hits without recording a strikeout over one inning of work in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander worked the seventh inning Monday, and he allowed an RBI double to Jared Walsh on the heels of consecutive singles by Jose Rojas and Anthony Rendon. Quantrill hadn't allowed a run in 10.2 innings prior to his poor inning Monday. Overall, he's posted a 2.18 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB, with his 5.05 FIP indicating that he's been lucky not to have more runs on his ledger.
Apr 17 2021Quantrill allowed two runs on two hits and three walks with one strikeout in two innings in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starter Logan Allen lasted just two innings, Quantrill was one of four relievers to pick up the slack. The two runs were the first against him this season. Quantrill has a 2.57 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and four strikeouts across seven innings. Expect the right-hander to continue in a long-relief role with the potential to draw a spot start if necessary.
Apr 12 2021Quantrill pitched two innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out one during Monday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill worked the sixth and seventh innings. He wasn't at his best, but the right-hander didn't let his mistakes pile up. The 26-year-old has seen time as a starter in 2019, but he worked mostly as a reliever in 2020 and appears set to continue in that role this year. He hasn't allowed a run in three innings over two appearances to start 2021, and he's posted three strikeouts.
Mar 28 2021Quantrill will open the season in a relief role, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The writing was on the wall when the 26-year-old threw one frame in relief Friday after Logan Allen started and covered five innings, and Cleveland has now confirmed its rotation plans to begin 2021. Quantrill primarily operated out of the bullpen last season and pitched well with a 2.25 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over 32 innings between Cleveland and San Diego. The right-hander could be called upon to start later in the season, but for now he'll work as a reliever.
Mar 27 2021Quantrill appears to have lost his bid for a rotation spot, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill and Logan Allen are competing for Cleveland's final rotation role, and their respective usage Friday against the Rockies suggests Allen has won the job. Allen started and threw five innings, while Quantrill appeared in relief for just a single frame. The team hasn't officially announced the winner of the job, but that usage wouldn't make much sense if Quantrill was still in the mix to start. The two contestants' respective spring numbers seemingly made this a rather easy choice, as Allen owns a 18:3 K:BB in 14 innings, allowing just one run, while Quantrill has struggled to a 10:9 K:BB while allowing 12 runs in 12 frames.
Mar 20 2021Quantrill gave up six runs on six hits over 2.2 innings with three strikeouts in Saturday's spring training loss to the White Sox. He's given up 12 earned runs in 11 innings (9.82 ERA) this spring. However, manager Terry Francona downplayed his struggles. "This kid is going to be fine," Francona told MLB.com. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill is battling Logan Allen for the fifth starter role and at least statistically he's falling far behind. Quantrill has nine walks and nine strikeouts in 11 innings as well. Allen has a 1.00 ERA (1 ER in 9 IP) this spring. Francona's comments appear to say the race is closer than the numbers, but it's hard to feel confident about Quantrill making the rotation at this point. Still, the Indians may not make a decision until the final week of spring training.
Mar 13 2021Quantrill gave up three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one in three innings in his most recent Cactus League appearance against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was scoreless over two frames in his first outing of the spring, but has given up multiple runs in each of his most recent appearances, during which he has been piggybacking with Triston McKenzie. Cleveland has been keeping its cards close to the vest thus far regarding how the rotation will shake out behind its top three starters, but the general assumption is that McKenzie will be the No. 4 starter while Quantrill and Logan Allen vie for the final spot. Allen has had better results in their respective tiny samples this spring, while Quantrill has a more impressive track record dating back to previous seasons.
Sep 27 2020Quantrill gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and struck out two over three innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill saw the most work out of the eight pitchers Cleveland used Sunday. The 25-year-old righty has amassed a 2.25 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB across 32 innings between Cleveland and San Diego in 2020. Quantrill figures to work out of the bullpen during the playoffs.
Sep 26 2020Quantrill will start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old delivered four scoreless innings Tuesday in his first start since joining Cleveland, and he'll close out the regular season on the mound for his new team. Quantrill needed only 38 pitches during his previous outing and is unlikely to pitch as deep into Sunday's game, especially with the Indians also wanting to give most of their relievers some work. The right-hander has a 2.17 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 29:8 K:BB across 29 innings this season.
Sep 22 2020Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox, giving up only one hit and one walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cleveland went with a bullpen game Tuesday, but the ultra-efficient Quantrill nearly qualified for a win on only 38 pitches (26 strikes) before handing things off to Adam Plutko. Quantrill has been sharp since being acquired from the Padres, posting a 1.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 11.2 innings over seven appearances, and he could be positioning himself for a chance to win a rotation spot in 2021.
Sep 21 2020Quantrill will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill figures to work only the first inning or two, considering he hasn't worked more than two frames since Aug. 15 against Arizona. Shane Bieber will have his start moved to Wednesday as a result.
Aug 31 2020Quantrill was traded from San Diego to Cleveland on Monday as part of the package for Mike Clevinger, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill was at least a fairly interesting prospect, but he didn't have a spot in the Padres' rotation and certainly wouldn't after the acquisition of Clevinger. In 120.1 career innings at the big-league level, which includes 19 starts and 14 relief appearances, he owns a 4.79 ERA and a 4.23 FIP, striking out a modest 20.7 percent of opposing batters while walking 6.6 percent. Whether or not he'll immediately enter the rotation for his new team is unclear.
Aug 21 2020Quantrill won't start Friday's game against the Astros and will be available out of the bullpen this weekend, 97.3 The Fan reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old allowed one run over 3.2 innings during his start last Saturday, but he was twice utilized out of the bullpen this week to record one out -- including his first career save -- and he will continue to be deployed as a reliever. Manager Jayce Tingler said the team values Quantrill's versatility and trusts him in pretty much any spot, so it appears his role will shift as necessary throughout the season. Tingler also indicated the right-hander could make another start if he doesn't make a relief appearance within the next couple days.
Aug 18 2020Quantrill retired the only batter he faced via a flyball to record the save Tuesday at Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old started Saturday's game and covered 3.2 innings, so it was a bit surprising to see him warming up in the ninth inning Tuesday with the Friars leading 6-4. Quantrill had no issues and needed only four pitches, so he could still make his next turn through the rotation Friday.
Aug 16 2020Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's contest between the Padres and the Diamondbacks. He allowed one run on five hits and one walk while fanning five across 3.2 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill's first start of the season was a short-lived appearance, perhaps as expected considering he had come out of the bullpen in his three previous appearances, but he got the job done and kept his team in the game before departing with one out to go in the fourth inning. Quantrill has been effective with a 2.92 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP in 12.1 innings this season, but he is expected to return to the bullpen soon.
Aug 14 2020Quantrill will start Saturday's game against Arizona, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill has been used in relief in his three appearances thus far this season, posting a 3.12 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 8.2 innings of work. He was a starter in 18 of his 23 appearances in his rookie campaign last year, struggling to a 5.16 ERA while striking out a modest 20.1 percent of opposing batters.
Aug 11 2020Quantrill (2-0) earned the win Monday against the Dodgers. He tossed three scoreless innings, allowing two hits while fanning three. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill came out of the bullpen in the third inning and turned in an impressive outing against one of the best offenses in the National League. He was coming off an appearance where he allowed three runs in 4.1 innings against the Rockies on Aug. 1, but he bounced back admirably here while not issuing a walk for the first time this season.
Aug 8 2020Quantrill is in consideration for a starting assignment against the Dodgers on Monday or Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill battled Joey Lucchesi for the final rotation spot throughout spring training and summer camp, with Lucchesi ultimately winning the role. However, Lucchesi was sent to the team's alternate training site Thursday, opening the door for Quantrill to step in as a starter. The Padres have other potential options to fill the rotation spot, though, and they could also choose to go with a combination of relievers rather than a traditional starter, so Quantrill is far from guaranteed to be chosen for the role. In two appearances this season, the right-hander has allowed three earned runs while posting a 5:3 K:BB over 5.2 innings.
Aug 1 2020Quantrill pitched 4.1 innings versus the Rockies on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four. He didn't factor into the decision. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill entered the game in the second inning after Joey Lucchesi worked himself into a jam. Both of Quantrill's appearances this season have come in relief of Lucchesi -- the duo seem to be working in tandem. The right-handed Quantrill has a 4.76 ERA and five strikeouts in 5.2 innings this season. A starter by trade, Quantrill is capable of picking up long assignments in relief. The results so far have been mixed in a small sample.
Jul 27 2020Quantrill (1-0) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across 1.1 scoreless innings Monday against the Diamondbacks en route to his first win. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill, who is a starter by trade but was on the outside looking in on San Diego's rotation, is a logical pitcher to have follow the left-handed Lucchesi. The Padres will likely deploy Quantrill more often than every fifth day, but he could continue to vulture wins in this quasi piggyback role.
Jul 9 2020Quantrill's swingman role will take on extra importance in the 60-game 2020 season, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Quantrill is not expected to open the season in the starting rotation, his ability to make spot starts could be critical given the uncertainty of the upcoming campaign. Even if he is used strictly out of the bullpen, the 25-year-old could find himself pitching multiple relief innings if a starter is pulled early, a scenario made more likely by the urgency of each game and the presence of a designated hitter in the National League. Quantrill was used primarily as a starter in his first big-league stint last season, compiling 5.16 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 103 total innings.
Mar 21 2020Quantrill could fill a swingman role out of the bullpen this season, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Quantrill was battling Joey Lucchesi for the fifth spot in the starting rotation before the suspension of spring training, Lucchesi is considered the favorite for the role due to his considerable edge in experience. That could leave Quantrill to fill a long relief and spot starter role as the Padres may be set on keeping him on the big-league roster after a strong spring in which the right-hander allowed only one run across seven Cactus League innings. Quantrill's likelihood of claiming a roster spot was no doubt boosted by the announcement that Andres Munoz underwent Tommy John surgery Friday and will be lost for the entire 2020 campaign.
Mar 14 2020Quantrill is battling Joey Lucchesi for the fifth spot in the Padres' rotation, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lucchesi was expected to be a lock for a rotation spot entering the season but has struggled mightily in Cactus League play, opening the door for Quantrill to potentially fill the fifth-starter role. Quantrill has done his part to earn that honor, allowing only one run in seven spring innings while striking out nine. In his final start before the suspension of spring training, the right-hander hurled three scoreless and hitless innings and whiffed three batters against the Cubs.
Mar 5 2020Quantrill (illness) is scheduled to appear behind starter Dinelson Lamet in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Mariners, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill will be making his first appearance since covering two innings in the Padres' spring opener back on Feb. 22. After he missed nearly a week's worth of workouts while recovering from the flu, Quantrill resumed playing catch over the weekend and is now ready to test himself against hitters again. The right-hander remains in the mix for a spot in the Padres' Opening Day rotation, though veteran Zach Davies is the most likely candidate to secure the fifth starter's job.
Mar 2 2020Quantrill (illness) played catch over the weekend and is scheduled to toss a bullpen session Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill came down with the flu last week, but the illness doesn't look like it'll be anything that dramatically derails his preparation for the regular season. Assuming he comes out of the bullpen session feeling fine, Quantrill should advance to facing hitters in live batting practice before slotting back into the Cactus League rotation by the end of the week.
Feb 29 2020Quantrill is out of action while he recovers from the flu, Bill Center of FriarWire reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Jayce Tingler described the ailment as "a 24-hour deal" and implied that Quantrill could throw again soon. The 24-year-old gave up one run in two innings while striking out four in his initial Cactus League appearance.
Feb 19 2020Padres manager Jayce Tingler said that Quantrill will start the team's Cactus League opener Saturday versus the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Padres acquiring Zach Davies in the offseason and Garrett Richards back healthy again after missing most of 2019 while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, Quantrill may find himself on the outside looking in for a spot in San Diego's Opening Day rotation. As AJ Cassavell of MLB.com notes, Quantrill is a candidate to work as a swingman if he can't secure a rotation spot, so a strong showing in the Cactus League should help him win a spot on the 26-man roster in some capacity. As a rookie in 2019, Quantrill enjoyed a productive stretch in the middle of the season but faded badly in September, finishing his inaugural campaign with a 5.16 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over his 23 appearances (18 starts).
Sep 24 2019Quantrill will not pitch again this season, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old righty is likely dealing with soreness of some kind, as he logged 148 innings in the minors last year and has only thrown 138.2 innings this year between the majors and the minors. For what it's worth, the team says Quantrill is healthy, according to AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, and that he will be firmly in the rotation mix next spring after logging a 5.69 ERA in 91.2 innings as a big-league starter in 2019. The Padres were working with a six-man rotation, so this may not result in anyone getting a spot start this weekend against the Diamondbacks.
Sep 22 2019Quantrill did not factor in the decision against Arizona on Saturday, hurling five innings and giving up one run on two hits and no walks while striking out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old surrendered a leadoff triple that was cashed in for a run on a sacrifice fly, but he clamped down to retire 15 of the final 16 batters he faced before departing after the fifth inning. Quantrill entered the game having allowed 28 runs in 16.2 innings over his last four appearances, so Saturday's effective outing was a much-needed return to the form that saw him post a 1.69 ERA across four starts in July. Quantrill will look to end the season on a positive note when he heads to Arizona for a rematch against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Sep 15 2019Quantrill (6-8) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks over three innings Sunday, striking out three batters and taking the loss against Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Quantrill allowed a two-run single to Rockies starter Chi Chi Gonzalez in the second inning before serving up a two-run shot to Ryan McMahon in the third. After his Aug.14 win over the Rays, he was 6-3 with a 3.23 ERA. The 24-year-old has since dissolved, taking five straight losses while his ERA ballooned to 5.33. Quantrill will look to turn things around Friday at home against the Diamondbacks.
Sep 9 2019Quantrill (6-7) took the loss against the Cubs on Monday, giving up eight earned runs on 10 hits over 4.1 innings, striking out five and walking two in a 10-2 defeat for the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was the third straight start in which the struggling right-hander has given up eight earned, a stretch that has seen Quantrill's ERA jump 3.32 to 5.12. The main culprit for Quantrill's struggles has been his inability to keep the ball in the yard, with 14 long balls to his name across 95 innings. He'll look to get on track in his next start, but he'll have to do it in a tough venue, with the Padres taking on the Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday.
Sep 2 2019Quantrill (6-6) gave up eight runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four through five innings to take the loss against the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Aug 27 2019Quantrill (6-5) was hit with the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday, giving up eight earned runs on eight hits over 4.1 innings, striking out one and walking three
Aug 20 2019Quantrill (6-4) allowed three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out nine across six innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Reds.
Aug 14 2019Quantrill (6-3) earned the win Wednesday against the Rays after allowing two runs on three hits over 5.2 innings. He had four strikeouts and one walk.
Aug 9 2019Quantrill (5-3) allowed just five hits over seven innings while striking out five in Friday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.
Aug 3 2019Quantrill (4-3) suffered the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out three over five innings in a 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Jul 28 2019Quantrill (4-2) picked up the win Saturday, giving up one run on three hits and four walks over 5.1 innings while striking out four in a 5-1 victory over the Giants.

Jun 4 2018Quantrill tossed seven shutout innings and struck out a season-high 10 batters in Double-A San Antonio's 6-0 win over Springfield on Sunday. He scattered three hits and a walk in the 97-pitch outing.The 23-year-old lowered his ERA to 4.15 through 12 starts with San Antonio and has given up just two runs in his last three outings, covering 17.2 innings over that span. With the right-hander beginning to turn the corner after a rough start to the Texas League campaign, it's not out of the question for him to receive the call to the big leagues at some point in the second half. Quantrill's above-average changeup and quality fastball give him a chance at developing into a serviceable back-end rotation member for the Padres.
Jan 18 2018The Padres extended an invitation to Quantrill for spring training.Quantrill split the 2017 season between the High A- and Double-A levels after earning a promotion to San Antonio in mid-July. Over eight starts with the club -- during his first opportunity in Double-A -- he posted a 4.04 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with a 34:16 K:BB in 42.1 innings. This marked his first full year as a professional after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2015, which has hampered his projection as a front-end starter for the future. Spring training will be a good test to see how the 23-year-old fares against major-league hitting for the first time, and whether there's enough potential for him to possibly earn a late-season call-up during the 2018 campaign.
Aug 16 2017Quantrill, 22, has a 3.38 ERA and 20:8 K:BB in 29.1 innings since being promoted to Double-A San Antonio.The stats certainly aren't terrible for Quantrill, though his strikeouts are down and his walks are up since the promotion. Quantrill has made a successful return from Tommy John surgery, though it remains to be seen if his lanky frame will hold up to the rigors of being a starting pitcher, and he must continue the development of a third pitch. Nevertheless, he is one of the better pitching prospects for the Padres.
Jul 11 2017Quantrill will head to Double-A San Antonio on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.Quantrill had been pitching well for Lake Elsinore during his first year at the High-A level. In 14 starts, Quantrill accumulated a 3.67 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP. His 76:24 K:BB over the course of 73.2 innings is promising for the 21-year-old, especially while working his way back from Tommy John surgery in 2015. The right-hander is one of the top pitching prospects in the Padres system, and could make his way to Triple-A by 2018 if he continues on his current progression.
Jun 1 2017Quantrill, 22, has a 3.80 ERA and 50:17 K:BB in 47.1 innings for High-A Lake Elsinore.Quantrill has been impressive in the hitter-friendly confines of the California League, striking out more than a batter per inning while showing no ill effects from his 2015 Tommy John procedure. His innings will likely be limited this season, but the Padres have to be pleased with what they've seen so far.
