Cal Quantrill fires seven scoreless to beat Rays

Cal Quantrill

TEX Relief Pitcher #44

Player Stats

Cal Quantrill delivered a brilliant performance in Thursday’s victory over the Rays, scattering just two hits over seven innings of shutout baseball.

Quantrill struck out five batters in the ballgame while issuing a pair of free passes. He retired the first eight hitters to start the game in order, then allowed a pair of two-out singles to Nick Fortes and Yandy Díaz with two outs in the third inning. Those were the only hits he’d surrender. The 31-year-old righty got nine whiffs on 95 offerings, posting a CSW of 25 percent. He now boasts a 7-5 record, 2.79 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 73/24 K/BB ratio over 96 2/3 innings in 29 appearances (12 starts) on the season. He’ll try to keep the magic going as he takes on the Mariners in Seattle on Wednesday.

Rangers transferred RHP Cal Quantrill to the 60-day injured list.

It’s merely a paperwork move to free up a spot on Texas’ 40-man roster. Quantrill is done for the season, and postseason as well, after hitting the injured list with lat tightness over the weekend. The 31-year-old righty was an unexpected revelation for the Rangers this season, posting a strong 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81/25 K/BB ratio across 110 innings as a versatile swingman. There’s a good chance that this run earns him another opportunity at the highest level next year.

Rangers placed RHP Cal Quantrill on the 15-day injured list with right lat tightness.

The issue cropped up for Quantrill during Saturday’s start against the Blue Jays. It’s not expected to be a long-term concern, but Quantrill wasn’t going to be able to make his next start so the Rangers will swap him out for an extra bullpen arm. Winston Santos was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Cal Quantrill exited his start Saturday because of right lat tightness.

Jordan Montgomery replaced him in the second inning against the Blue Jays. Quantrill is set to undergo an MRI on Sunday. If he can’t start next week, Nathan Eovaldi could go in his spot.

Cal Quantrill left Saturday’s game in the second inning with an injury.

No word yet, but it’s quite possible his back was acting up again. He dealt with tightness and came out after 709 pitches last weekend against the D-backs. Quantrill retired all four batters he faced before being replaced by Jordan Montgomery.

Cal Quantrill (back) told reporters on Thursday that he’s fine and expects to make his next start as scheduled on Saturday.

The 31-year-old righty battled through tightness in his back during Sunday’s victory over the Diamondbacks, but it appears to have been only a minor issue. Expect him to have no workload limitations when he takes the hill against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Despite dealing with back tightness, Cal Quantrill limited the Diamondbacks to two runs over six innings in a win Sunday.

Quantrill threw just 70 pitches to get 18 outs and likely would have kept going if not for the back issue. He said after the game that he expects to make his next start against the Jays. One of this season’s biggest surprises, he’s now 9-5 with a 2.90 ERA. It’s safe to say he won’t have to settle for a minor league deal again this winter.

Cal Quantrill allowed three runs and struck out four batters over six innings in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

Quantrill had gotten through three scoreless innings until Lazaro Montes tagged him for a three-run blast in the fourth. He’d recover with two more scoreless innings, ending his day after six with a quality start and in line for the win while collecting four strikeouts. The 31-year-old right-hander will take a 2.89 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and a 77/25 K/BB ratio across 102 2/3 innings into a start against the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Sunday.

Cal Quantrill will start Tuesday’s game against the Mariners.

The Rangers are pushing Cody Bradford back an extra day to take the ball against Seattle on Wednesday instead. It doesn’t appear to be an injury-related situation. Quantrill has been an unexpected revelation for Texas, posting a surreal 2.79 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 73/24 K/BB ratio across 96 2/3 innings this season. It’s hard to argue against his streaming appeal against a Seattle lineup that has consistently struggled to score runs this season.

Cal Quantrill allowed three runs in six innings and took the loss against the Brewers on Saturday.

Quantrill gave up four hits, walked none and struck out eight. He fell to 6-5 with the loss. Quantrill has been excellent in August with a 1.45 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 31 innings over four starts and one relief appearance. He has a 3.01 ERA on the season. Quantrill is lined up to face the Rays at home next week.

Cal Quantrill shut out the Angels for six innings Sunday in the Rangers’ 5-3 victory.

Quantrill has pitched 13 scoreless innings in his last two starts and is now an impressive 6-4 with a 2.90 ERA in 10 starts and 17 relief appearances this season. He was 16-30 with a 5.39 ERA over the previous three years. Quantrill will likely start in Milwaukee next weekend.

Blue Jays sent LHP Joe Mantiply outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

Mantiply will elect free agency and get a head start on the offseason after being removed from Toronto’s roster last week. The 35-year-old veteran reliever posted a respectable 3.33 ERA across 27 innings last season.

Diamondbacks sent OF Jesús Sánchez outright to Triple-A Reno.

Sánchez will head to free agency this offseason after a six-game stint with the Diamondbacks where he went 2-for-15 after being claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays in mid-September. The 28-year-old corner outfielder hit just .260/.318/.416 with eight homers and one steal in 299 plate appearances before Toronto decided to pull the plug. He should be able to land on his feet as a strong-side platoon outfield option somewhere this offseason.

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Edgardo Henriquez (back) has progressed to facing hitters in a live batting practice session.

Gomes noted that Henriquez is trending in a positive direction, which seems to indicate that he’ll be on Los Angeles’ playoff roster when they kick off an NL Division Series matchup this weekend. The hard-throwing 24-year-old high-leverage specialist posted a strong 2.85 ERA and 71/25 K/BB ratio across 60 innings before hitting the injured list with lower back discomfort on September 14.

Liam Hendriks announced his retirement from professional baseball.

For all Hendriks accomplished during his lengthy major-league career, it will be his inspiring comeback after beating non-Hodgkin lymphoma that he is remembered for most. The 37-year-old reliever hangs up his spikes after a 14-year odyssey where he spent time with six different organizations, compiling 116 saves along with a 3.88 ERA across 663 2/3 innings. He was a three-time All-Star in addition to being a two-time winner of the Mariano Rivera Reliever of the Year Award.

Alex Bregman is at DH and hitting second for Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Padres.

Bregman is ready for the start of the postseason after returning to Chicago’s lineup less than one week after suffering multiple facial fractures when he was hit by a foul ball in the on-deck circle. It’ll be rookie Pedro Ramírez filling in at the hot corner with Bregman limited to DH as he continues to recover. Here’s the full lineup for Tuesday’s series opener in San Diego: Pete Crow-Armstrong (CF), Bregman (DH), Michael Busch (1B), Seiya Suzuki (RF), Ian Happ (LF), Nico Hoerner (2B), Ramírez (3B), Carson Kelly (C) and Dansby Swanson (SS).

Zebby Matthews has been diagnosed with a flexor pronator strain in his right elbow.

Matthews is expected to be ready for the start of next season, but it’s a variable that could potentially impact his availability. The 26-year-old continues to show flashes of fantasy potential, but struggled to an inflated 4.90 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 116/39 K/BB ratio across 130 1/3 innings over 23 starts this past season.

Walker Jenkins will undergo surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow on Wednesday.

One of the top prospects in baseball, Jenkins hit just .226/.293/.393 with four homers, 10 RBI and one steal in 93 plate appearances over 26 games after receiving a late-season promotion to Minnesota. The 21-year-old former top-five pick should be a full-go at the start of spring training given the nature of the procedure, but fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the offseason to ensure that he’s on track for the outset of the regular season.
