Quantrill allowed three earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two across 6.1 innings Saturday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill held the Yankees scoreless through four innings, though he allowed runs in two of the the last three frames he pitched. Even so, he wasn't hit particularly hard, as the only extra-base hit he allowed was a solo home run to Josh Donaldson. Quantrill has effectively limited runs to begin the season, as he has maintained a 3.94 ERA, but his 6:7 K:BB across 16 innings suggests that he has been fortunate in his results.

Quantrill (illness) will start Saturday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Terry Francona said Friday that Quantrill was expected to start Saturday, and he will indeed do just that. Quantrill has been effective to open the season, posting a 3.72 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 9.2 innings over two starts.

Manager Terry Francona said the Guardians expect Quantrill (illness) to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list to start Saturday against the Yankees, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old landed on the COVID-19 IL on Wednesday, but it appears he'll only end up spending a few days on the shelf. Quantrill has apparently cleared MLB's testing protocols but still needs to be activated ahead of Saturday's contest.

Quantrill was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since Quantrill was placed on the COVID-19 IL, he'll be able to return as soon as he clears the league's testing protocols. Kirk McCarty, Tanner Tully and Enyel De Los Santos had their contracts selected Wednesday, and one of them could start if Quantrill misses a turn in the rotation.

Quantrill allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while fanning two across 4.2 innings Saturday against the Giants. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill gave up two runs for the second outing in a row, but he couldn't finish the fifth inning and was lifted after showing command issues -- he tossed 91 pitches (51 strikes) and issued more walks than punchouts. The right-hander has a 4:4 K:BB through his first 9.2 innings of work in 2022 and is expected to make his next start on April 21 against the White Sox at home.

Quantrill (1-0) earned the win Sunday over the Royals after giving up two runs on four hits and a walk while fanning two across five innings. He also hit a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill needed 76 pitches to navigate through five innings and while he was far from being perfect, his outing was good enough to earn him his first win of the campaign as the offense backed him up with 13 runs through the first four frames. The right-hander will try to build off this decent season debut when he pitches against the Giants on Saturday.

Quantrill signed a one-year, $2.51 million deal with the Guardians on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill recorded a 2.89 ERA last season, but it took some good luck in the form of a .267 BABIP and an 80.0 percent strand rate to get him there. He struck out just 19.6 percent of opposing batters, and while his 7.6 percent walk rate was better than average, that combination doesn't typically add up to an ERA below 3.00. He's locked into a rotation spot this season after spending part of last year in the bullpen, but a repeat of last year's performance seems unlikely.

Quantrill will not start during the team's weekend series against Kansas City, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill last started Monday, so he would have lined up to take the ball in the team's final game of the season Sunday. However, Aaron Civale will draw the start in his place as the team looks to build up his innings after he dealt with a sprained finger that cost him over two months of game action. Quantrill ends the season with a strong 2.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP while racking up 121 strikeouts across 149.2 frames.

Quantrill (8-3) picked up the win Monday versus the Royals, tossing six innings while giving up three runs on six hits and striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old gave up a run in the first inning on an RBI-double by Salvador Perez before surrendering two more runs in the third inning. He pitched three scoreless innings to finish the outing, notching his fourth straight quality start. Over that stretch, he has compiled a 1.67 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 4-0 record. He stands to face the Rangers in the season finale Sunday.

Quantrill (7-3) earned the win Tuesday after holding the Royals to one run on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out six across 6.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Quantrill secured his third straight win and his third consecutive quality start with strong command Tuesday. The 26-year-old blanked Kansas City across the first six frames before Hunter Dozier broke through with a solo homer in the seventh. Otherwise, Quantrill was brilliant, pitching into the seventh inning for the sixth outing in a row. The right-hander will carry a 2.82 ERA and 1.18 WHIP into his next turn on the mound.
