Quantrill allowed a run on four hits and three walks while striking out two in six innings in a no-decision versus Tampa Bay on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
This matched Quantrill's longest appearance of the season, and it was also one of his most effective. Unfortunately for the right-hander, James Karinchak's recent struggles continued and denied the starter a win. Through 72.2 innings this year, Quantrill has a 3.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB. He lines up for his next start versus St. Louis next week.

Quantrill (2-2) allowed a run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings, earning the win Saturday over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
While it wasn't exactly a gem, Quantrill did enough to put Cleveland in position to win. The right-hander has won consecutive starts, but he's still allowed 17 runs in 24 innings across his last five outings. For the year, Quantrill has a 4.05 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB across 66.2 innings. He projects to make his next start versus Tampa Bay next week.

Quantrill (1-2) earned the win Saturday against the Royals after allowing three hits on five hits and a walk across six innings, striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from earning his first win of the season, Quantrill also picked up his first quality start for the first time in 2021. His strikeout numbers are still far from acceptable, with a 4.1 K/9 over his last five appearances while posting a 6.00 ERA across that same stretch, but he found a way to get the job done here. That said, he's still far from being a reliable asset in most fantasy formats since he struggles to pitch deep into games and doesn't strike out a ton of guys.

Quantrill allowed three runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Houston on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's outing was the right-hander's longest since he rejoined Cleveland's rotation June 15. Quantrill has still allowed 13 runs in his last 13 innings, but he's likely to continue as a starter while Cleveland's top three pitchers work their way back from injuries. Through 55.2 innings this year, Quantrill has a 4.20 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 42:19 K:BB. He lines up for his next start versus Kansas City.

Quantrill lasted only 3.1 innings during Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Detroit, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander struggled immensely against Detroit's bottom-ten offense, yielding a season-worst eight hits, including three doubles. He allowed a pair of runs in the second inning and another before exiting in the fourth, with the final run on his ledger crossing the plate after his departure. Quantrill has been hit hard over his past two starts, yielding a combined 10 runs and 14 hits across 7.2 frames. He'll try to turn things around in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come at Tampa Bay early next week.

Quantrill allowed six runs on six hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus Minnesota on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Cleveland spotted Quantrill a three-run lead in the first inning, but he couldn't stop Minnesota's comeback. The right-hander allowed a two-run home run to Alex Kirilloff in the third inning. Quantrill worked into trouble again in the fifth, and reliever Nick Sandlin allowed an inherited runner to score. Through 47 innings this year, Quantrill has a 3.64 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB. He'll likely continue to hold a spot in the rotation as Cleveland's top three starters are all injured. The 26-year-old lines up to face Detroit next week.

Quantrill didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Pirates after tossing five scoreless innings, allowing three hits and two walks while fanning two.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill didn't factor into the decision, but he delivered a strong outing in what was his longest appearance of the campaign. The right-hander has spent most of the season as a reliever but has been moved to the rotation with Shane Bieber (shoulder) recently joining Zach Plesac (finger) on the injured list. Quantrill owns a 2.74 ERA on the season and is slated to make his next start on the road against the Twins next week.

Cleveland is tentatively planning to have Quantrill start Saturday's game in Pittsburgh on three days' rest, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Shane Bieber (shoulder) recently joining Zach Plesac (finger) on the injured list, Quantrill has been moved back into the rotation after spending most of the season in the bullpen. He turned in a strong showing as a starter in Tuesday's win over the Orioles, striking out four and allowing one run over four innings. Cleveland capped Quantrill at 60 pitches in that outing, so he likely won't be asked to push far past that level this weekend, especially since he'll be returning to the mound on short rest.

Quantrill did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win over Baltimore. He allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four across four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from giving up an RBI double to Maikel Franco in the second inning, Quantrill looked strong in what was expected to be another abbreviated outing. The 26-year-old has yet to throw more than 60 pitches in any of his 21 appearances this year, and Tuesday was no different as he tossed 41 of his 60 pitches for strikes. Quantrill has shifted between the rotation and the bullpen this season, including his last outing when he pitched two scoreless innings in relief against St. Louis. Overall, the right-hander has compiled a 3.11 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He potentially lines up for a road start at Pittsburgh next week.

Quantrill is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A lighter schedule of games last week allowed Cleveland to move Quantrill to the bullpen following his June 6 start -- which also came against Baltimore -- but he'll be needed in the rotation again while the Tribe is in the midst of a stretch of 12 games in 12 days. Given that Quantrill hasn't tossed more than 60 pitches in any of his 20 appearances with the big club this season, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to work more than four or five innings Tuesday.
