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.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Recalled, starting Friday
Rotowire
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.

Mets' Jose Quintana: No help in 10th loss
Rotowire
Quintana (10-10) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Brewers on Saturday.

Quintana has been dominant lately, allowing just four runs (three earned) across 36.1 innings over his last six starts of the regular season. His nine strikeouts Saturday were a season high. He ends the regular season with a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:B over 170.1 innings spanning 31 starts.

Mets' Jose Quintana: Picks up seventh victory
Rotowire
Quintana (7-9) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings.
Quintana was staked to a three-run lead in the top of the first inning and never let Chicago catch up. The southpaw needed 98 pitches to get through five frames and thus wasn't able to go deep enough to notch a second straight quality start, but he was otherwise effective in holding the White Sox without an extra-base hit and yielding just one earned run. Quintana had a rough four-game stretch to begin August during which he posted an 0-3 record and an 8.27 ERA, but he bounced back in his final two starts of the month, allowing just one earned run across 11.1 frames.

Quintana (6-7) allowed three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Sunday.
