The Rangers placed Quantrill (lat) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Quantrill will not pitch again this season after being transferred to the 60-day IL on Tuesday. The right-hander posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 110 innings this season. Texas activated Michael Helman (hand) from the 60-day IL, replacing Quantrill on both the active and 40-man rosters.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Slated for MRI
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said following Saturday's game against the Blue Jays that Quantrill (lat) will undergo an MRI on Sunday morning, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Testing is needed after Quantrill left Saturday's game in the second inning with right lat tightness. Lefty Jordan Montgomery picked the team up with 3.2 hitless and scoreless innings in relief following Quantrill's early exit, earning the win against the Blue Jays, and Montgomery could be rewarded with a start next week if Quantrill is unavailable.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Out with lat strain
Rotowire
The Rangers placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Quantrill exited Saturday's start against the Blue Jays after 1.1 scoreless frames due to lat tightness, and the injury will sideline him for the final week of the regular season. It brings an early end to a resurgent campaign for the right-hander, who posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 110 innings. The Rangers currently have a one-game advantage in the AL West, though it's unclear if Quantrill will be ready to return during a potential playoff run.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Leaves game with lat tightness
Rotowire
Quantrill was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays with right lat tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Quantrill was able to record just four outs against Toronto before leaving the mound. The initial diagnosis is a lat issue, which comes after the right-hander worked through back tightness in his last start Sept. 13. At this stage, Quantrill's status for his final scheduled regular-season start next week in Minnesota is up in the air.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Early exit Saturday
Rotowire
Quantrill left Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in the second inning with an apparent injury, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
It wasn't obvious what was ailing Quantrill, but as Landry points out, the right-hander dealt with back tightness in his last outing before receiving the green light to start Saturday. He has been surprisingly effective this season with a sparkling 2.90 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over 108.2 innings coming into this game. Jordan Montgomery took over for Quantrill with one out in the top of the second.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Ready for next turn in rotation
Rotowire
Quantrill said Thursday that his back is fine, and he will make his next scheduled start this weekend against the Blue Jays, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Quantrill pitched through some back tightness during his previous start Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, but the issue no longer looks to be a concern. The Rangers haven't yet announced when the right-hander will take the ball, but he'll likely start Saturday. Quantrill has provided an unexpected boost to the Rangers rotation, contributing a 1.82 ERA over his last nine starts.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Tweaks back during Sunday's start
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters that Quantrill was working through back tightness during his start in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Diamondbacks, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Quantrill was able to work through the injury and picked up the win to improve his record to 9-5, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four across six innings. The back injury can be considered a day-to-day issue, and perhaps Quantrill won't miss any time. His next turn in the rotation is slated for next weekend at home against the Blue Jays.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Delivers another quality start
Rotowire
Quantrill (8-5) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over six innings against the Mariners. He struck out four.
It's the fifth straight quality start for Quantrill, who has gone 4-1 with a 1.69 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across 32 innings during that span. He kept Seattle in check for most of Tuesday's outing, with Lazaro Montes' three-run homer accounting for all the damage against him. Quantrill next lines up to face the Diamondbacks on the road this weekend.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Continues dominant stretch
Rotowire
Quantrill (7-5) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Thursday, allowing two hits and walking two batters while striking out five over seven scoreless innings.
Quantrill didn't need to miss many bats (nine whiffs) to completely quiet the Rays. The only two hits he allowed were singles, and Tampa Bay didn't get any runners to third base against him. Quantrill has not only logged four consecutive quality starts, he's also held the opponent scoreless in three of those outings. He's made more appearances out of the bullpen (17) than as a starter (12) this season, but the right-hander may have forced his way into a permanent rotation spot given his recent dominance.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Strikes out eight in loss
Rotowire
Quantrill (6-5) took the loss against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over six innings.
Quantrill was burned by two homers before settling in with four scoreless innings, generating 13 swinging strikes on 88 pitches en route to his third straight quality start. It continued a strong run for the 31-year-old, who boasts a 1.83 ERA over 39.1 innings since suffering a six-run loss July 17. He owns a 3.01 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB across 89.2 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Rays next week.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Extends scoreless streak
Rotowire
Quantrill (6-4) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing six hits while striking out six over six scoreless innings.
Quantrill threw 68 of his 96 pitches for strikes and didn't issue a walk for the second consecutive start. The right-hander has now completed at least five innings while allowing one run or fewer in five straight starts, lowering his ERA to 2.90 in the process. He's been especially sharp recently, extending his scoreless streak to 15 innings. Quantrill will look to keep rolling in his next scheduled start Saturday against the Brewers.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Blanks Nats across seven innings
Rotowire
Quantrill (5-4) earned the win Tuesday against the Nationals, allowing four hits while striking out five over seven scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.
Quantrill delivered his longest outing as a Ranger while shutting down one of MLB's most dangerous lineups. He never allowed more than one baserunner in any inning and issued zero walks. The right-hander has made the most of his opportunity filling in for Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), allowing just one run across 12 innings in his two outings. Through nine starts and 17 relief appearances this season, Quantrill owns a 3.13 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB across 77.2 innings. He will seek to continue his recent success in his next scheduled start against the Angels.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Drawing another start
Rotowire
Quantrill is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Nationals at Globe Life Field.
The Rangers moved Quantrill to the bullpen last weekend, but he made just one relief appearance before he was plugged back into the rotation after Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) landed on the injured list. After taking a no-decision last Wednesday against the Angels while giving up one run over five innings, Quantrill will be awarded a second straight start. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week, with another turn through the rotation awaiting him next Sunday at home versus the Angels.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Pitches well in no-decision
Rotowire
Quantrill allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Wednesday.
Quantrill did his part, but the Rangers' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead after he exited. The veteran right-hander threw 50 of 85 pitches for strikes in his return to the rotation after serving as a reliever over the weekend. For now, it appears Quantrill will fill the vacated rotation spot of Nathan Eovaldi (elbow). Quantrill has filled a versatile role this year, pitching to a 3.44 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 49:22 K:BB over 70.2 innings across 25 appearances (eight starts). Should he stick in the rotation, he's tentatively lined up to make his next appearance at home in a tough matchup versus the Nationals.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Entering rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
Quantrill is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Angels in Anaheim, Matt Postins of SI.com reports.
The Rangers will go with Quantrill over Jordan Montgomery as the replacement in the rotation for Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), who was placed on the injured list Monday. Quantrill most recently made a one-inning relief appearance Saturday against the Orioles, but the right-hander had started or served as a bulk reliever in each of his prior eight appearances, going 1-4 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB in 35.1 innings during that stretch.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Could move back into rotation
Rotowire
Texas manager Skip Schumaker mentioned Quantrill as a potential replacement in the rotation for the injured Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), Kenndi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Schumaker also noted that Jordan Montgomery is in the mix to take Eovaldi's spot in the rotation, which comes up Wednesday against the Angels. Quantrill has made seven starts for the Rangers this season, most recently throwing six innings against the Giants on Aug. 3. During his time as a starter, Quantrill has posted a 3.34 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 32.1 innings.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Moving to bullpen
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumacher told reporters Friday that Quantrill will move out of the rotation and into the bullpen, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
The Rangers will go with a five-man rotation, which means both Quantrill and Jordan Montgomery will shift over to the bullpen. Quantrill had been a part of Texas' rotation since late June, and across seven starts he posted a 1-4 record with a 3.51 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 33.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see Quantrill operate as a long reliever out of the bullpen over the remainder of the season unless a spot opens up in the rotation over the last few weeks of the regular season.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Pitches well despite loss
Rotowire
Quantrill (4-4) allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings in a loss to San Francisco on Monday.
Quantrill was hurt by two errors behind him in the second inning, allowing the Giants to scored a pair of unearned runs. The only other time San Francisco scored against him was when Jung Hoo Lee swatted a solo homer in the third. Quantrill retired 11 of the 13 batters he faced following that homer, but Texas' offense couldn't provide enough runs to take the righty off the hook. Despite the loss, Quantrill recorded his second quality start of the campaign (though it's worth nothing that he didn't move into the rotation until late June). He's produced a respectable 3.31 ERA over 35.1 frames since then, with all but one of his eight appearances coming as a starter. It remains to be seen, though, if Quantrill will remain in the rotation when Jordan Montgomery (elbow), Cody Bradford (elbow) and/or Jack Leiter (ankle) return from the injured list.
