Player Outlook
Cal Quantrill's run of success came to a screeching halt last season, as he made a pair of trips to the injured list with shoulder trouble and struggled to an ERA north of 6.00 in his final 12 starts. While it was obvious that the right-hander had been pitching over his skis since coming over from San Diego, it was still somewhat surprising to see his performance crater like it did. The injury almost certainly played a part, but regardless the Guardians designated Quantrill for assignment after the season, later sending him to the Rockies via trade. Quantrill has always been subject to the whims of variance given his low strikeout rate (career 17.7 K%), and adding Coors Field to the mix makes him a highly combustible element. Colorado is hoping he can provide stability in the middle of the rotation, but it will be tough in that division.

  • Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Rockies debut set

    Quantrill will start the second game of the regular season against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of the Denver Post reports. 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.

  • Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Looks good in ramp-up

    Quantrill allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three across 4.2 scoreless innings in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Giants. 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.

  • Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Efficient first spring appearance

    Quantrill 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. 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.

  • Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Avoids arbitration with Rockies

    The Rockies and Quantrill avoided arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $6.55 million contract, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. 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 ERA heading into the season. Quantrill will open 2024 in the Rockies' rotation but won't be a desirable fantasy option.

  • Rockies' Cal Quantrill: Acquired by Rockies via trade

    The Rockies acquired Quantrill from the Guardians in exchange for Kody Huff on Friday. Quantrill had been designated for assignment by Cleveland earlier in the week but quickly landed in another organization, and he should slide right into Colorado's rotation. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 5.24 ERA and 58:35 K:BB over 99.2 innings in 2023 but boasted a career 3.54 ERA coming into last season. Quantrill is a sensible addition by the Rockies, but landing in Colorado virtually eliminates whatever fantasy appeal he might have had in 2024.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Pushed off 40-man roster

    Quantrill was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Tuesday. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Shaky in fourth win

    Quantrill (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. Quantrill was knocked around and yielded the most runs and hits of any of his September starts. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Goes just four innings Saturday

    Quantrill (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. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Let down by bullpen Thursday

    Quantrill pitched six scoreless innings against the Angels on Thursday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Tosses quality start

    Quantrill did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over six innings in the Guardians' win over Tampa Bay. He struck out two. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Activated for return Friday

    Quantrill (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Friday versus the Rays, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. Quantrill is back in the rotation for Cleveland after missing nearly two full months due to shoulder inflammation. The 28-year-old right-hander had posted a rough 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB in 67 innings (13 starts) prior to the lengthy IL stint.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Likely to rejoin rotation this week

    Quantrill (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. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Making one more rehab start

    Quantrill (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. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Serves up three HRs in rehab start

    Quantrill (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. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Third rehab start Sunday

    Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to throw around 85 pitches Sunday in his third minor-league rehab start, Joe Noga of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Quantrill got roughed up in his rehab debut Aug. 9 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Tosses simulated game Friday

    Quantrill (shoulder) faced hitters in a simulated game at Double-A Akron on Friday, MLB.com reports. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Lands back on 15-day IL

    Cleveland placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Ambushed by Atlanta

    Quantrill (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. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Struggles in return

    Quantrill (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. 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.

  • Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Set to return Friday

    Quantrill (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. 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 due to a bout of shoulder inflammation.
