Not starting regular-season finale Quintana is expected to be available in relief for Sunday against the White Sox with Adbert Alzolay receiving the starting nod, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Quintana returned from a lat injury to make a start Tuesday in the Cubs' loss to the Pirates, covering two innings and giving up a run on two hits. Alzolay served as the primary pitcher behind Quintana in that outing, but the two pitchers could end up flip-flopping roles in the regular-season finale. The Cubs are expected to use a four-man rotation of Yu Darvish, Kyle Hendricks, Jon Lester and Alec Mills in the postseason, so Quintana will likely have to settle for a relief role if manager David Ross elects to include him on the playoff roster.

Out with lat inflammation Quintana was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with left lat inflammation, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Quintana presumably suffered the injury during Sunday's contest, as pitched three innings of one-run relief after Tyler Chatwood (forearm) left with an injury. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but it's poor timing for the Cubs given Chatwood's injury and the upcoming doubleheader this weekend. Adbert Alzolay is a likely candidate to enter the rotation in the meantime.

Strikes out six in relief Quintana pitched three innings of one-run ball in relief in Sunday's 10-1 win against the Reds. He allowed two hits and a walk, while striking out six.

Impact Quintana has now pitched exactly three innings in each of his two relief appearances this season, and he looked sharper Sunday, particularly with the six strikeouts. The lefty should reenter the rotation at some point, and that could happen Saturday, when the Cubs play a doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Allows three runs in 2020 debut Quintana (thumb) allowed three earned runs on four hits and a walk across three innings in a relief appearance Tuesday against the Tigers. He struck out three.

Impact Quintana's 2020 debut was delayed due to undergoing microscopic surgery in early July to repair a left thumb laceration, and the lefty looked understandably rusty in this one. He was at least able to log 55 pitches after only throwing 28 in a simulated game Friday. The Cubs are getting him up to speed out of the bullpen initially, but Quintana should be expected to start at some point. When he does move into the rotation, Alec Mills will likely shift to a long relief role.

Impact Chatwood came into spring training battling for the team's fifth rotation spot, but he bumped up at least one rung with Jose Quintana (thumb) slated to miss the beginning of the season. Now it seems that Chatwood has moved ahead of Jon Lester for the No. 3 spot, putting the righty behind Kyle Hendricks and Yu Darvish. Chatwood has always had good enough stuff to succeed as an MLB starter, but his command has held him back. If he can keep the walks in check, the 30-year-old could be an under-the-radar option this year in fantasy circles.

Impact Quintana has been out since having thumb surgery in early July. The lefty won't be ready for Opening Day, but it appears he could be back fairly soon if the bullpen session goes off without a hitch. In the meantime, Alec Mills is likely to fill Quintana's rotation spot.

Impact As expected, Quintana was cleared to resume throwing after getting the stitches removed from his left thumb Wednesday. According to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune, manager David Ross noted the team will "wait and see" with the southpaw, who reportedly felt good Thursday but is still expected to miss the start of the season.

Set to throw Thursday Quintana (thumb) is expected to resume throwing Thursday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Quintana had his stitches removed Wednesday and is set to resume throwing for the first time since he underwent microscopic surgery on his left thumb in early July. The left-hander will likely miss the start of the regular season, but the team should know more once he's able to increase his throwing program. Alec Mills could step in as a starter for the Cubs while Quintana is on the mend.

Should throw soon Quintana (thumb) is on track to begin throwing later this week, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Quintana underwent microscopic surgery on his left thumb in early July and this will be his first time throwing since then. He has been able to continue with a workout program in the meantime. The lefty seems likely to miss at least one turn through the rotation, which figures to open the door for Alec Mills to step in as a starter.
