Quantrill signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill was cut loose by Atlanta after giving up 12 earned runs in just eight innings during his two starts with the team, and he'll now find work in the Rangers' farm system for the final portion of the regular season. The 30-year-old righty could make a spot start for the Rangers over the next few weeks, but he won't be able to pitch if Texas secures a spot in the postseason.

Atlanta released Quantrill on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill was rocked for 12 runs over eight innings in two appearances after Atlanta claimed him off waivers. He's now free to sign elsewhere and might have to settle for a minor-league contract.

Manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that Quantrill will work as a long reliever going forward, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chris Sale's return from the injured list left Quantrill as the odd man out of Atlanta's rotation, but the 30-year-old righty will remain with the big club as a multi-inning relief option. He's given up 12 earned runs in only eight innings since joining Atlanta, however, so he'll most likely be reserved for low-leverage situations.

Quantrill (4-12) allowed nine runs on nine hits while recording zero walks and zero strikeouts over 3.1 innings to take the loss Thursday versus Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill hasn't been able to reverse his fortunes over his first two starts with Atlanta, though both games have been tough matchups. He left his team debut versus the Mets with calf cramps, and while he was cleared to pitch Thursday, he served up four of the seven homers the Phillies launched in a 19-4 game. This is the third time in his last five outings where Quantrill has given up at least seven runs. Homers haven't been a massive part of the problem for him this season with a total of 22 allowed over 26 starts, but he has a 6.04 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 85:35 K:BB through 117.2 innings. Chris Sale (ribs) is set to return from the injured list Saturday, pushing Atlanta to a six-man rotation, and Quantrill's next start is tentatively expected to be in Chicago versus the Cubs.

Quantrill (calf) is slated to start Thursday's series opener against the Phillies in Philadelphia, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being claimed off waivers from the Marlins last week, Quantrill made his Atlanta debut during Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Mets. Quantrill, who took his 11th loss of the season, struck out three and was charged with three earned runs on five hits and five walks across 4.2 innings before departing due to calf cramps. Atlanta described Quantrill's removal from the contest as precautionary, and after receiving treatment to address the issue, the right-hander will be ready to take the hill Thursday on normal rest.

Quantrill was removed from Saturday's start against the Mets as a precaution due to calf cramps.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill yielded three runs on five hits and five walks across 4.2 innings before departing his Atlanta debut with calf cramps. He struck out three. The issue shouldn't have any effect on his next start. Quantrill was claimed off waivers from Miami after posting a 5.50 ERA in 24 starts for the Marlins. His five walks tied a season high and the outing marked his fourth straight start not completing five frames. Quantrill is lined up to make his next start in Philadelphia.

Quantrill is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at Truist Park, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Erick Fedde had been in line to start this weekend, but he ended up getting moved to the bullpen to open up a rotation spot for Quantrill, whom Atlanta claimed off waivers from Miami on Thursday. Before getting cut by the Marlins, Quantrill had endured a disappointing 2025 campaign, posting a 5.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 82:30 K:BB in 109.2 innings. An impending free agent this winter, Quantrill will look to pitch well over the final five weeks of the season with the hope of earning a rotation spot with Atlanta or another club heading into 2026.

Atlanta claimed Quantrill off waivers from the Marlins on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Atlanta has decided to take on what remains of Quantrill's $3.5 million salary even though they're out of contention and Quantrill has posted a 5.50 ERA and 82:30 K:BB over 109.2 innings this season. The club has indicated it will go with a six-man rotation once Chris Sale (ribcage) returns, and Quantrill could take the spot of Erick Fedde, who has a 7.11 ERA in four starts since joining the team.

The Marlins placed Quantrill on outright waivers Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given his $3.5 million salary, Quantrill is a good bet to clear waivers. The Marlins would have the ability to retain him at that point, although it's likelier the veteran right-hander will be cut loose. Quantrill has posted a 5.50 ERA and 82:30 K:BB over 109.2 innings this season and an 11.25 ERA in three starts this month.

Quantrill (4-10) took the loss against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk with two strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill was tagged for 12 hard-hit balls and managed just 11 outs, with the big blow coming on a three-run homer by Trevor Story in the third inning. The 30-year-old has now given up seven earned runs in two of three August starts, failing to get through five innings each time. He'll carry a 5.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 82:30 K:BB across 109.2 frames into a home matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.
