Guardians trade Cal Quantrill to Rockies for minor league catcher Quantrill was designated for assignment by Cleveland on Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM

Acquired by Rockies via trade The Rockies acquired Quantrill from the Guardians in exchange for Kody Huff on Friday.

Impact Quantrill had been designated for assignment by Cleveland but has quickly landed in another organization and should slide right into Colorado's rotation. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 5.24 ERA and 58:35 K:BB over 99.2 innings in 2023 but boasted a career 3.54 ERA coming into the season. Quantrill is a sensible addition by the Rockies, but landing in Colorado virtually eliminates whatever fantasy appeal the righty might have had in 2024.

Pushed off 40-man roster Quantrill was designated for assignment by the Guardians on Tuesday.

Impact Qunatrill was a reliable member of Cleveland's starting rotation between 2021-22 before stumbling to a 5.24 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 58:35 K:BB over 99.2 innings in 2023. The 28-year-old right-hander can elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Recapping Cal Quantrill's Up-And-Down Season For The Guardians Cal Qauntrill finished his 2023 season with the Cleveland Guardians with the highest ERA of his career.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Shaky in fourth win Quantrill (4-7) earned the win Friday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Tigers. He struck out three.

Impact Quantrill was knocked around Friday night and yielded the most runs and hits of any September start. However, even with the less-than-stellar outing, the 28-year-old righty ends the month with a solid 2.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB over 32.2 innings. Quantrill turned his season around dramatically as he entered September with a 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB over 67 innings.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes just four innings Saturday Quantrill (3-7) took the loss against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out four batters over four innings.

Impact That Quantrill was able to escape the outing with just one run charged to his ledger is pretty impressive given that he allowed nine baserunners over four frames. Baltimore left eight runners on base while Quantrill was in the contest, including five over his final two innings. The right-hander was lifted after 93 pitches, snapping a streak of four straight outings during which he went at least 5.2 frames. Quantrill figures to have one more regular-season start left, which tentatively lines up to come next weekend in Detroit.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in no-decision Quantrill did not factor into the decision Monday against the Royals after allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Quantrill's outing on Monday was his fourth consecutive start allowing two runs or fewer, dating back to Sept. 1. Over that span, he has thrown 23.2 innings with a 1.90 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB. Quantrill looks to keep the quality work going in his next start scheduled at home against Baltimore this weekend.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns third win Quantrill (3-6) allowed one run on five hits and three walks while striking out two over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Giants.

Impact Quantrill's lone mistake was a Blake Sabol solo home run in the fifth inning. Since returning from a shoulder injury, Quantrill has tossed three straight quality starts, allowing just three runs over 18 innings in that span. He's now at a 5.40 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 48:30 K:BB through 85 innings over 16 starts this season. The 28-year-old is projected for a favorable road start in Kansas City in his next outing.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Let down by bullpen Thursday Quantrill pitched six scoreless innings against the Angels on Thursday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision.

Impact Quantrill was excellent in the outing, holding Los Angeles to three singles and allowing multiple baserunners in just one frame. The right-hander looked to be in line to have his seven-start winless streak snapped when the Guardians put up two runs in the half-inning following his departure, but Emmanuel Clase blew a save opportunity in the ninth to hold Quantrill to a no-decision. Despite the disappointing finish, Cleveland has to be happy with how Quantrill has pitched since returning from a lengthy stay on the injured list Sept. 1. In two outings since rejoining the rotation, he's posted two quality starts while allowing two runs on five hits over 12 frames.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses quality start Quantrill allowed two runs on two hits and three walks over six innings in Friday's win over Tampa Bay. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Quantrill was on an MLB mound for the first time since July 5 and settled in nicely after allowing a run in each of the first two innings. It was the first time he completed at least six innings since May 13. The 28-year-old lowered his season ERA to 6.16 with a 40:25 K:BB through 73 innings. Quantrill is currently projected for a road outing against the Angels next week.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated for return Friday Quantrill (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Friday versus the Rays, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Impact Quantrill is back in the rotation mix for Cleveland after missing nearly two full months due to shoulder inflammation. The 28-year-old right-hander had posted a rough 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB in 67 innings (13 starts) prior to the lengthy IL stint.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to rejoin rotation this week Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list Sept. 1 and will likely start in the Guardians' series opener with the Rays that day, Julia Kreuz of MLB.com...

Impact While Cleveland hasn't confirmed that Quantrill will be activated this week, the club already reopened a spot for him in the rotation by designating right-hander Noah Syndergaard for assignment Sunday. The transaction came after looked sharp in his fourth and final rehab start Saturday, when he struck out six and allowed two runs on five hits and no walks over 7.1 innings in a win for Triple-A Columbus. Quantrill tossed 89 pitches in the outing and should be fully stretched out as he steps back into the Cleveland rotation during the final month of the season.

AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making one more rehab start Quantrill (shoulder) will make a fourth and final rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Columbus before being reinstated from the 15-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Impact Though Quantrill looks to be just about fully stretched out for starting duty after he built up to 5.1 innings and 84 pitches his last time out for Columbus on Aug. 20, both he and the Guardians determined that he could benefit from one more tune-up outing in the minors prior to being activated from the IL. Despite increasing his workload in his previous start for Columbus, Quantrill's results (three strikeouts, six earned runs allowed on six hits and three walks) still left something to be desired. Quantrill will be targeting 95 pitches in Saturday's outing and will hope to show sharper command before getting the green light to rejoin the Cleveland rotation. He'll tentatively line up for a Sept. 1 return from the IL and could bump either of Xzavion Curry or Noah Syndergaard from the rotation once reinstated.

AUGUST 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Serves up three HRs in rehab start Quantrill (shoulder) tossed 5.1 innings and struck out three while giving up six earned runs on six hits and three walks in his third rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Columbus.

Impact The Guardians were likely hoping for a sharper outing for Quantrill on Sunday in what's expected to be his final rehab start, but despite his struggles, the right-hander still managed to build up to 84 pitches (54 strikes). Assuming Quantrill checked out fine physically following the start for Columbus, he'll likely be activated from the 15-day injured list over the upcoming weekend to make his next appearance with the Guardians during their series in Toronto. Unless the Guardians elect to expand their rotation to six men, either Noah Syndergaard or Xzavion Curry would seemingly be most at risk of ceding his starting role to Quantrill.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Third rehab start Sunday Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to throw around 85 pitches Sunday in his third minor-league rehab start, Joe Noga of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Quantrill got roughed up in his rehab debut last Wednesday with Triple-A Columbus before bouncing back to work 3.2 innings of one-run ball this past Tuesday with Double-A Akron. If all goes well Sunday on the farm, he should be able to return to the Guardians' rotation late next week. The 28-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since July 6 due to shoulder inflammation.

AUGUST 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making another rehab start Quantrill (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next rehab appearance with Double-A Akron on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quantrill will require at least one more tune-up outing in the minors after he was blasted for six earned runs on six hits and two walks over 1.1 innings in his first rehab start at Triple-A Columbus last Wednesday. Despite Quantrill's poor results, Guardians manager Terry Francona said that the organization was encouraged by the right-hander's velocity and other metrics in the start. Depending on how he fares Tuesday, Quantrill could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list as early as this coming Sunday, though a return next week appears more realistic at this juncture.

Guardians starting pitcher labors in Triple-A rehab outing Cal Quantrill surrendered six earned runs while pitching Wednesday for Columbus.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM

Tosses simulated game Friday Quantrill (shoulder) faced hitters in a simulated game at Double-A Akron on Friday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Quantrill returned to Cleveland following the live session, and assuming team doctors are satisfied with the condition on his shoulder, he could report back to Akron or another affiliate during the upcoming week for a rehab assignment. On the shelf since July 6 with the inflamed right shoulder, Quantrill may require more than one rehab outing to get fully stretched out before the Guardians add him back to their rotation.
