Cal Quantrill - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Slated for bulk relief Wednesday Quantrill is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tyler Alexander during Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The White Sox will roll out a starting lineup featuring four left-handed bats in the top five spots, so the left-handed Alexander will likely work the first inning or two in an effort to neutralize those hitters. Quantrill is then expected to enter the game once Alexander exits, which should aid Quantrill's chances of coming away with a win. Quantrill had started in each of his last five appearances, going 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across 21 innings.

Roughed up by Atlanta Quantrill (3-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing six runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out three across four innings.

Impact Quantrill got out of the first inning unscathed after giving up two baserunners, but that's where the good news ended for the veteran right-hander. He gave up at least two runs in three of the next four frames, with four of those runs coming on two homers in the fourth inning. It was the most runs Quantrill gave up in a game since Aug. 28, 2025 against the Phillies, when he yielded nine runs across 3.1 innings. He sits at a 3.93 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 50.1 innings this season. Quantrill is lined up to make his next start next week at home against the White Sox, which could be his last turn in the rotation if Jordan Montgomery (elbow) is cleared to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Settles for no-decision Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-3 win over Houston, allowing one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out one batter across six innings.

Impact The 31-year-old's lone run allowed came courtesy of Yordan Alvarez's homer in the sixth. Quantrill otherwise did a great job keeping the Astros' offense in check while allowing just two men to reach base between the third and sixth innings. He left the game with a 3-1 lead but was forced to settle for a no-decision after the Rangers' bullpen allowed Houston to tie the game in the seventh, leaving the righty still in search of his first win since June 3. Quantrill now owns a 2.12 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 17 innings in four starts since joining the rotation.

Gets no help in first loss Quantrill (3-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over five innings as the Rangers were blanked 3-0 by the Tigers. He struck out tw...

Impact The right-hander didn't pitch poorly, tossing 42 of 66 pitches for strikes before exiting the mound, but Texas' hitters managed only three hits -- giving Quantrill no margin for error after Riley Greene swatted a two-run homer in the first inning. The workload was Quantrill's largest of the year, both in terms of innings and pitch count, and through three starts since moving into the rotation he's produced a 2.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB over 11 innings. He lines up to get one more start before the All-Star break, at home next weekend against the Astros.

Start moved up to Saturday Quantrill will be the Rangers' starter Saturday against the Tigers, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quantrill was initially slated to start Sunday against Detroit, but he'll now take the mound Saturday while Kumar Rocker starts in the series finale. Quantrill has a 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 35.1 innings (17 games, two starts) this season.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up on home soil Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays, scattering two hits and a walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Impact Making just his second career start in Toronto, the Canadian right-hander blanked the Jays over 55 pitches (36 strikes) but wasn't stretched out enough to qualify for the win and take advantage of a five-run fifth inning by the Rangers. Quantrill is making a case to remain in the rotation while Jack Leiter (ankle) is on the shelf, and he'll take a 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB through 35.1 innings and 17 appearances (two starts) into his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Tigers.

Drawing start Saturday Quantrill is slated to start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

Impact Quantrill will be making his second start in five days, though he'll likely be limited to around 2-to-3 innings after covering two frames and tossing 34 pitches as an opener in front of Jose Corniell in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins. Corniell has since been demoted to Triple-A Round Rock, but Winston Santos hasn't been used following his call-up from Double-A Frisco on Wednesday and could end up covering multiple innings behind Quantrill on Saturday.

Alcantara sets Marlins' career strikeouts record in 6-4 win over Rangers

JUNE 24 • Associated Press

Making first start with Texas The Rangers announced Quantrill as their starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Marlins in Miami.

Impact For at least one turn, the Rangers will turn to Quantrill as a replacement in the rotation for Jack Leiter (ankle), who was moved to the injured list Sunday. Though he's worked exclusively out of the bullpen for Texas since receiving a promotion April 15, Quantrill started three times for Triple-A Round Rock prior to his call-up and has made 149 starts over parts eight seasons in the big leagues. Quantrill has maxed out at 3.1 innings and 70 pitches across his 15 relief appearances over the past two months, so despite his wealth of starting experience, he's still likely to handle a limited workload Tuesday before turning the game over to the bullpen.

APRIL 16 • AWAYBACKGONE.COM

Up from Triple-A The Rangers selected Quantrill's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quantrill has made three starts at Round Rock so far this year and owns a 5.14 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 14 innings. The Rangers are short on bullpen arms after losing Chris Martin (biceps) and Luis Curvelo (shoulder) to the injured list Wednesday, so Quantrill could be tapped for long-relief duties while in the majors.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to minors The Rangers reassigned Quantrill to minor-league camp Wednesday.

Impact The Rangers closed out spring training with the top four members of the rotation all in optimal health, and with Kumar Rocker pitching well enough to beat out Jacob Latz for the fifth and final spot, Quantrill never made much of a run at securing a starting role while he attended camp as a non-roster invitee. He'll serve as organization pitching depth for the Rangers this season and will likely slot into the rotation at Round Rock.

Returns to Texas Quantrill signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers on Thursday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Quantrill closed the 2025 season in the Rangers' organization, making two starts at Triple-A Round Rock. He looks unlikely to break camp in the rotation, but he could make an impact at some point in the new campaign.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Catches on with Rangers Quantrill signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Quantrill was cut loose by Atlanta after giving up 12 earned runs in just eight innings during his two starts with the team, and he'll now find work in the Rangers' farm system for the final portion of the regular season. The 30-year-old righty could make a spot start for the Rangers over the next few weeks, but he won't be able to pitch if Texas secures a spot in the postseason.
