Jose Quintana - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Lasts only three innings Saturday Quintana allowed two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three across three innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday.

Impact Both of the home runs Quintana gave up came on solo homers by Brenton Doyle and Luisangel Acuna in the second and third frames, respectively. Quintana ran his pitch count up to 59 with 34 strikes and five whiffs, prompting Colorado to turn the keys to Ryan Feltner for the start of the fourth frame. It was still encouraging to see Quintana on the mound for the tail end of the 2026 regular season, seeing as he was sidelined by a sprained left for nearly four months. He'll end the 2026 regular season with a 5.44 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 48 innings.

Allows three runs in return Quintana didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Mariners after allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings.

Impact Quintana made his first start since May 24 after missing nearly four months with a sprained left elbow. The veteran left-hander surrendered a two-run homer to Cal Raleigh in the first inning and a solo shot to Randy Arozarena in the third but otherwise kept Seattle off the board. He exited after four innings with Colorado trailing 3-1, and the Rockies' bullpen followed with five scoreless frames to complete the comeback. Quintana is expected to make his final start of the season Friday on the road against the White Sox.

Activated ahead of start The Rockies reinstated Quintana (elbow) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Quintana will return for his first big-league appearance since May 24 after recovering from a sprained left elbow. The veteran southpaw made nine starts for Colorado before going down, posting a 2-3 record with a 5.27 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 20:17 K:BB over 41 innings. He allowed three runs on five hits with one strikeout over 2.1 innings in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Albuquerque last Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining rotation Saturday The Rockies plan to activate Quintana (elbow) from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Mariners in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact After completing two rehab starts and checking out fine following his bullpen session Tuesday, Quintana has received the green light to make his first appearance for the Rockies since May 24. The veteran southpaw is likely to be operating with a limited workload Saturday, given that he built up to only 2.1 innings and 47 pitches during his rehab assignment. Prior to landing on the shelf due to a left elbow sprain, Quintana went 2-3 with a 5.27 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 41 innings in nine starts.

Completes second rehab appearance Quintana (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed three earned runs on five hits and no walks across 2.1 innings Sunday in a rehab start with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Impact Making the second appearance of his rehab assignment, Quintana tossed 47 pitches (32 strikes). The Rockies could have Quintana continue building up over one more rehab start before bringing him back from the 60-day injured list at some point during the final week of the season. Before hitting the shelf May 25 due to a left elbow sprain, Quintana went 2-3 with a 5.27 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over nine starts with Colorado.

Making rehab appearance Wednesday Quintana (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Hartford on Wednesday, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Out since late May with a sprained left elbow, Quintana began his throwing program in early July and has finally reached the final stage in his rehab. The Rockies -- already eliminated from postseason contention -- likely won't be in much of a hurry to bring the veteran southpaw back, but he could still return in time to make another start or two before the end of the season.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing rehab assignment Quintana (elbow) is in line to begin a rehab assignment next week, Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Quintana has been steadily building up his pitch count in bullpen sessions since early August as he progresses in his recovery from a left elbow sprain that landed him on the injured list in late May. It's been a lengthy rehab for the veteran southpaw, so even if he's cleared to embark on a rehab assignment, it's unclear whether he'll see major-league action before the conclusion of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Set for sim game Quintana (elbow) will throw two simulated innings at Colorado's complex in Arizona on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana threw a 45-pitch bullpen session in mid-August and has been ramping up activity. While he seems to be making clear progress, it's unclear whether he'll be able to return to the mound before the season ends.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Up to 45 pitches Quintana (elbow) threw 45 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana has been building up his workload, with Tuesday's session being his most extensive since being sidelined. He's expected to throw live batting practice Aug. 22, with the goal of reaching 60 pitches.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Set for another bullpen session Quintana (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana most recently tossed a 23-pitch bullpen session Sunday that consisted of all fastballs and changeups, so he'll be looking to build up his volume Wednesday and/or making use of his full repertoire. The veteran southpaw -- who has been on the shelf since May 25 due to an elbow sprain -- could soon be cleared to face hitters and appears to be tracking toward a return to the Rockies' active roster in late August or early September.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing bullpen session Quintana (elbow) is set to throw a bullpen session during the week of Aug. 3, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana is set to throw long toss Saturday, and he'll end the session with eight throws off the mound. That will lead into his first bullpen session since initially being sidelined with a sprained elbow.

AUGUST 1 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play catch Quintana (elbow) is scheduled to play catch Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The veteran left-hander has been building up his arm strength by throwing weighted balls, clearing the way for him to play catch for the first time since suffering an elbow sprain in late May. Quintana will be eligible to be reinstated from the injured list in late July, but he'll likely need more time to ramp himself up to MLB readiness.

MAY 31 • SI.COM

Moves to 60-day IL The Rockies transferred Quintana (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana landed on the 15-day IL on Monday with a sprained left elbow. MRI results determined that the southpaw's injury isn't severe enough to require surgery, but he is still set to remain sidelined until at least July 24 now that he's on the 60-day list. His 40-man roster spot will be given to Jeff Criswell (elbow), who returned from the injured list Thursday and was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IL with sprained elbow The Rockies placed Quintana on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left elbow sprain.

Impact Quintana exited Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks in the second inning with a sore elbow, and an MRI has revealed ligament damage. It's unclear at this point whether the veteran hurler will need surgery or attempt to rest and rehab the injury, but even if it's the latter he's likely looking at an extended absence. Quintana has been limited to nine starts this season because of hamstring and now elbow problems, and he's collected an unsightly 5.27 ERA and 20:17 K:BB over 41 innings.

Impact Quintana exited Sunday's start against the Diamondbacks in the second inning with left elbow discomfort, and he will now head back home instead of continuing the road trip with the Rockies. The southpaw could be set for an extended absence, depending on the results of his MRI.

MAY 24 • Associated Press

Injury deemed left elbow discomfort Quintana, who was removed in the second inning of his start Sunday versus Arizona, is dealing with left elbow discomfort, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana was pounded for six earned runs on six hits Sunday while retiring only four batters before departing. It's not clear at this point how severe the elbow issue is or if he's going to miss any starts. Quintana will presumably go through testing to pinpoint the exact nature of his injury.
