Manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Quintana will receive a second opinion on his left shoulder impingement, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers skipper said Friday that Quintana may be able to return from the IL after the 15-day minimum, though the chances of that happening may be in jeopardy now that the veteran lefty is looking to hear from another doctor. A clearer return timeline should emerge once he receives his second opinion.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Facing minimum IL stint
Rotowire
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Quintana (shoulder) could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list when eligible May 26, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Quintana landed on the 15-day IL on Wednesday due to a left shoulder impingement. An MRI revealed inflammation in his left shoulder, but the Brewers are optimistic that Quintana will need only a minimum stint on the IL, which would put him in line to start against the Red Sox on May 26. He went 4-1 across six starts with a 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB over 34 innings prior to his injury.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Goes on IL with shoulder injury
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Quintana on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.
Quintana experienced soreness in his pitching shoulder after his last start. While the Brewers had seemed optimistic about Quintana's ability to start this weekend on a few extra days of rest, the club has ultimately decided to put the southpaw on the IL. Quintana will be eligible for activation May 26, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready on that date. Tobias Myers has been recalled and will likely take Quintana's spot in the rotation.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Now slated to start Saturday
Rotowire
The Brewers are listing Quintana (shoulder) as their probable pitcher for Saturday's game against the Twins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Initially, the team had planned to push Quintana back from Wednesday to Friday due to some soreness the lefty developed in his pitching shoulder after his last outing. However, it appears he'll receive an additional day of rest. Quintana will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, and assuming that goes well, he'll take the hill Saturday.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Plans to throw bullpen Wednesday
Rotowire
Quintana (shoulder) said Monday that he's feeling better and plans to throw a bullpen session Wednesday ahead of Friday's scheduled start versus the Twins, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Quintana felt left shoulder soreness following his last outing against the Rays, which resulted in the Brewers pushing the southpaw's next scheduled start back from Wednesday to Friday. While the Brewers believe giving Quintana a couple extra days of rest will be enough for him to overcome the shoulder issue, the club won't officially clear him until he throws a bullpen session Wednesday and recovers well from it Thursday.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Start pushed back due to arm issue
Rotowire
The Brewers have pushed Quintana's next scheduled start back to Friday against the Twins after he experienced some upper left arm soreness following his most recent outing last Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Quintana had been slated to take the ball Wednesday against the Guardians, but the Brewers will either call up a pitcher from Triple-A to start that game or treat the series finale in Cleveland as a bullpen day. The two extra days of rest are expected to be enough for the veteran southpaw to fully move past the arm issue, so he shouldn't face any workload restrictions when he returns to the mound Friday.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Settles for no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Quintana came away with a no-decision in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Rays, giving up three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
An error by Jackson Chourio in the third inning and an interference call on Caleb Durbin in the sixth during a rundown led to the two unearned runs against Quintana. The veteran southpaw got the hook after 75 pitches (51 strikes) and passed a big personal milestone along the way -- he's one of only six active pitchers with over 2,000 career innings in the majors, joining a group that includes Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale. The Brewers have rotation reinforcements on the way, but Quintana's spot seems secure given his 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB through 34 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Cleveland.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Serves up three homers in loss
Rotowire
Quintana (4-1) took the loss Saturday against the Cubs after allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out six.
Quintana gave up a run on two singles and a walk during the opening frame, but it was the long ball that hurt him the rest of the day as Chicago clubbed three homers across the fourth and fifth innings. The veteran left-hander allowed just three runs while winning his first four starts with the Brewers, but the Cubs' league-leading offense (208 runs scored) got to him Saturday. Quintana will carry a 2.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB across 28.2 innings into a matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Strikes out six in win
Rotowire
Quintana (4-0) earned the win against the Cardinals on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts over five innings.
Quintana cruised through four frames before allowing a run in the fifth and departing with a 7-1 lead. He generated only eight swinging strikes on 98 pitches but managed to minimize hard contact. The veteran southpaw has now yielded just three total earned runs across four consecutive victories to open the campaign. He owns a 1.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Sharp again in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Quintana (3-0) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings in an 11-3 rout of the Giants. He struck out three.
The veteran southpaw has been an outstanding addition to an injury-plagued Brewers rotation. Quintana has won three straight starts since making his season debut April 11, producing a dazzling 0.96 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 18.2 innings despite a lack of dominance -- he has just a 9:5 K:BB, and he generated only eight swinging strikes on 94 pitches (61 total strikes) Tuesday. Quintana will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in St. Louis.
Brewers' Jose Quintana: Stifles Tigers for second win
Rotowire
Quintana (2-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over Detroit, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
The veteran southpaw couldn't match the seven scoreless innings he tossed in his season debut, but Quintana was still sharp in his second outing of 2025. He tossed 58 of 100 pitches for strikes, including 20 called strikes as he kept Tigers hitters guessing. Quintana will take a 0.71 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB through his first 12.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in San Francisco.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Dazzles in Milwaukee debut
Rotowire
Quintana (1-0) picked up the win Friday, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings in a 7-0 victory over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two without walking a batter.
The veteran southpaw tossed 50 of 80 pitches for strikes in his 2025 debut after signing a one-year deal with the Brewers in early March and needing some extra time to get ramped up, and he didn't allow a runner to get past first base until his final inning of work. Quintana is coming off a strong campaign with the Mets, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:BB through 170.1 regular-season frames in 2024, and he appears ready to help stabilize Milwaukee's injury-ravaged rotation. He lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Tigers.
Quintana will start against the Diamondbacks on Friday after being recalled by Milwaukee from the Rookie ACL Brewers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Quintana spent much of the offseason as a free agent, but he signed a one-year deal with the Brewers in early March and opted to start the year in the minors to get stretched out. With multiple Milwaukee starters on the injured list, Quintana will get the call-up Friday and make his first appearance in a Brewers uniform, though it's uncertain what type of workload he will handle in his debut. The veteran southpaw went 10-10 across 31 regular-season starts for the Mets in 2024, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:BB across 170.1 innings.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Sent to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Quintana to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Quintana agreed to be optioned to the minors so that he could continue to get stretched out after he was unsigned throughout the offseason before reaching a one-year deal with Milwaukee on March 5. The veteran southpaw built up to three innings and 37 pitches in his final Cactus League outing March 22, so he may need just a couple of starts in the minors before the Brewers deem him ready to join the big-league rotation.

Rotowire
Quintana agreed Wednesday to report to Triple-A Nashville to begin the season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Won't be ready to begin season
Rotowire
Quintana will likely need two additional starts before he is able to make his 2025 debut, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Quintana was signed in early March and has since made two Cactus League starts. The most recent came Saturday, when he completed three innings of work. Though the team's plans haven't been made official, this report suggests Quintana would be able to take the mound at some point during the second week of April.
