Quantrill gave up three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in six innings Friday against the Nationals. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

This was Quantrill's best start of the season. He's still searching for his first win and he has not fanned more than three batters in a start yet. His 12 percent strikeout rate on the year would be easily a career worst -- his previous career low was his 16.6 percent strikeout rate from 2022.

Quantrill (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Guardians were downed 3-2 by the Mariners. He gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings and struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

All the damage off Quantrill came in the first two innings, and while he settled down after that, Cleveland's bats couldn't climb out of the hole. The right-hander threw 59 of 93 pitches for strikes before exiting, and he'll look to get in the win column in his next outing, likely to come next weekend on the road against the Nationals.

Quantrill did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.2 innings during a win over the Mariners. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill worked exclusively as a starter last season for the first time in his career, and he posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 32 starts. He had a 16.6 percent strikeout rate that ranked second-worst among qualified pitchers, but it was encouraging to see him limit runs while generating a 15-5 record. Although Quantrill gave up five runs Sunday, he was able to settle for a no-decision in a game that lasted 10 innings. Following Sunday's lackluster outing, the right-hander tentatively lines up for a rematch against the Mariners at home Saturday.

Quantrill threw 5.2 hitless innings, allowing one walk and striking out five in Thursday's Cactus League win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill set down 17 straight Giants to start the game, then walked the last batter he faced. This was a new level of dominance for Quantrill in what's been a challenging spring -- he has a 5.25 ERA and 10:3 K:BB across 12 innings over four starts. Despite the struggles, he's a lock for the Guardians' rotation to open the season, and his ability to maintain a good ERA and absorb innings gives him some appeal in fantasy.

Quantrill worked to refine his curveball and add a splitter to his arsenal during the offseason, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill's search for new and revised pitches comes from the fact that he doesn't often boast swing-and-miss stuff. His 6.2 K/9 last season was the lowest of his career, though his 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP were perfectly fine as a middle-of-the-rotation starter. It's unclear how much the right-hander will bump up his curveball usage -- he threw it around four percent of the time in 2022, and he's still workshopping the splitter in spring training. In fantasy, Quantrill will again likely stabilize ratios without adding much to the strikeout total.

Quantrill and the Guardians agreed on a one-year, $5.55 million contract Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill and the organization will avoid arbitration after being able to strike a deal Friday. The right-hander is coming off a strong season in 2022, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 128 punchouts over 186.1 innings in 32 starts with Cleveland.

Quantrill (15-5) earned the win Tuesday over Kansas City, striking out four in five innings while allowing a run on four hits.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill scattered two singles over the first four innings Tuesday, holding the Royals scoreless. After retiring the first two batters in the fifth, he gave up consecutive hits and a run came around to score. The righty allowed one run in each of his last three starts, lowering his ERA for the season to 3.38. He is likely to get the start in Game 3 of the AL Wild Card series if that game is necessary.

Quantrill did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on three hits over six innings against the Rays. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill allowed an RBI single from David Peralta to open the scoring in the first inning but was without blemishes after that. The righty has put together a good stretch in his last eight games, recording a 2.38 ERA over 45.1 innings. In addition, the 27-year-old has turned in seven quality starts in his last 11 outings.

Quantrill (14-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on five hits over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out four and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill (14-5) was solid for six innings outside of a solo home run he served up to Marcus Semien in the third. The right-hander did walk two batters in the fifth inning but managed to escape without allowing any damage. Quantrill has now won his last 10 decisions and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last seven starts. He'll look to extend his winning streak against the Royals at home next week.

Quantrill (13-5) allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out two and earning a win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't the most impressive outing from Quantrill but Cleveland's lineup provided more than enough support for him to win his ninth consecutive decision. He tossed three scoreless frames before the Twins scored two runs in the fourth inning. Since Quantrill's last loss July 5, he's registered a 3.24 ERA over 14 starts, lowering his season ERA to 3.56 in the process. He's expected to take the mound in Texas this weekend.
