Thumped by Dodgers Quantrill (8-11) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.1 innings as the Rockies were routed 11-4 by the Dodgers. He failed to strike out a b...

Impact A two-run homer by Teoscar Hernandez in the first inning and a solo shot by Andy Pages in the fourth were the big blows off Quantrill, as the right-hander saw his season end with his worst outing since July 30. His first campaign with the Rockies was predictably turbulent, but Quantrill gave the team 29 starts and 148.1 innings while posting a 4.98 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 110:69 K:BB. He's headed for a raise this offseason in his final year of arbitration eligibility, so it's possible Colorado attempts to move him rather than pay him what could be eight figures to fill a rotation spot.

Command issues continue Quantrill did not factor into the decision in a win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks over 4.2 innings while striking out five.

Impact Quantrill retired eight of the first nine batters he faced before allowing a walk to Shohei Ohtani, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Mookie Betts. The right-hander would then surrender a third run in the fourth and would not make it through the fifth after reaching 100 pitches. Quantrill has now issued four or more walks in three-consecutive starts and at least two walks in nine straight. He's also winless over his last four starts, surrendering multiple runs in each of those outings, and hasn't gotten through six innings since July 24 against the Red Sox (span of seven starts).

Pitiful command in loss Quantrill (8-10) allowed two runs on four hits and six walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Cubs.

Impact Quantrill had a short stay on the injured list due to a tricep injury, but he didn't look good in his return. He threw 69 pitches, with just 34 of them being strikes, while the six walks were a season high in his shortest appearance of the year. There was no report of another injury after the game, so this appears to just be a poor performance at this time. Quantrill has struggled to a 4.68 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 105:63 K:BB through 140.1 innings over 27 starts this season. His next start is tentatively projected to be a tough one on the road versus the Dodgers.

Activated for Sunday's start Quantrill (triceps) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday against the Cubs.

Impact The right-hander has been sidelined since late August due to a triceps injury, but he's ready to rejoin Colorado's rotation after a brief stay on the injured list. Quantrill has a 6.06 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB in 35.2 innings across seven starts since the All-Star break.

Trending toward Sunday return Quantrill (tricep) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Cubs at Coors Field, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quantrill was placed on the IL with right tricep inflammation on Sept. 1, one day after he was scratched from his scheduled start against the Orioles. He looks like he'll be ready to return to action in close to the minimum 15 days, and he didn't require a rehab assignment after the Rockies were encouraged by how the right-hander fared during his throwing program. That being said, manager Bud Black suggested that Quantrill will have his workload monitored carefully Sunday, with 70-to-85 pitches floated as a rough estimate.

Lands on IL The Rockies placed Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Quantrill had been in line to start Sunday's series finale with the Orioles at Coors Field, but he was scratched a day in advance after experiencing right triceps inflammation. According to Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, Quantrill's injury isn't considered significant, with manager Bud Black noting that the right-hander is expected to return from the IL before the end of September. Ty Blach was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill Quantrill's spot on the active roster and in the rotation.

Scratched from Sunday's start Quantrill will not start in Sunday's series finale against the Orioles due to right triceps inflammation, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Impact Quantrill made his last start Tuesday against the Marlins, when he allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two across 5.2 innings in a no decision. The 29-year-old right-hander has struggled over his seven starts since the All-Star break, posting a 2-2 record with a 6.06 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 25:18 K:BB over 35.2 innings. It's unclear whether the triceps injury will keep him out of his next start, which is pencilled in for Sept. 7 against the Brewers. Southpaw Ty Blach will be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and start Sunday.

Walks five in no-decision Quantrill allowed four runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings to take a no-decision versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

Impact The five walks matched his season high. Quantrill exited in line for the win, but the Rockies' ninth-inning collapse denied him his ninth victory. The veteran right-hander has allowed 25 runs (24 earned) over 35.2 innings since the All-Star break, and he's posted a 25:18 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 4.63 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 103:57 K:BB through 138 innings over 26 starts this year. Quantrill's next start is projected to be at home this weekend versus the Orioles.

Saddled with ninth loss Quantrill (8-9) took the loss Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out four.

Impact Quantrill retired the side in order during three of his five innings, with the lone blemish against his line coming in the third inning when he allowed one walk and a couple of singles, capped by a two-out base knock by James Wood that drove in two. It was just the third time Quantrill has allowed two runs over at least five innings over his last 11 starts. During that stretch, Quantrill has a 2-5 record with a 6.41 ERA and 1.59 WHIP and 45 strikeouts over 53.1 innings. He's next scheduled to face the Marlins in the high altitude of Coors Field.

Yields three runs in win Quantrill (8-8) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Padres.

Impact Quantrill was scratched from a start earlier in the week due to forearm soreness. It doesn't appear to be a lingering issue at this point, as he threw 92 pitches Friday, though he gave up two home runs to Ha-Seong Kim and Xander Bogaerts. Quantrill hasn't pitched into the sixth inning in three starts, giving up 13 runs over 13 innings in that span. He's now at a 4.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 97:50 K:BB through 127.1 innings over 24 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Nationals.

In line to start Friday Quantrill (forearm) is scheduled to make his next start Friday against the Padres at Coors Field, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quantrill had previously been lined up to take the hill for Monday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks, but he was pushed back in the pitching schedule after experiencing soreness at the top of his right forearm coming out of his most recent start Aug. 4 in San Diego. The right-hander said that he was able to resume throwing Saturday, so assuming he's able to make it out of a bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday no worse for the wear, he shouldn't face any restrictions when he toes the rubber Friday in Colorado.

Impact The Rockies had already pushed back Quantrill's start from Saturday to Monday, but it's now unknown when he'll make his next start. Quantrill's forearm soreness stems from his most recent outing Aug. 4, when he allowed three runs across 4.1 innings against the Padres. The right-hander should be expected to undergo further testing in the coming days, but for now, the Rockies don't seem to think that Quantrill will need to go on the injured list.

The left-hander should be expected to undergo further testing in the coming days, but for now, it doesn't seem Quantrill will need an IL stint.
