Quantrill (shoulder) faced hitters in a simulated game at Double-A Akron on Friday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill returned to Cleveland following the live session, and assuming team doctors are satisfied with the condition on his shoulder, he could report back to Akron or another affiliate during the upcoming week for a rehab assignment. On the shelf since July 6 with the inflamed right shoulder, Quantrill may require more than one rehab outing to get fully stretched out before the Guardians add him back to their rotation.

Cleveland placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill missed most of June with the very same issue. He had surrendered 11 earned runs in 7.2 innings (two starts) since being activated June 30 and heads back to the IL with a 2-6 record and 6.45 ERA in 13 starts this year.

Quantrill (2-6) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering five runs on 11 hits over 4.1 innings as the Guardians fell 8-1 to Atlanta. He struck out three without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was the latest victim of an Atlanta offense that seems unstoppable right now, as Quantrill got tagged for four runs in the top of the first inning. He's lost four straight starts, two on either side of a month-long absence due to shoulder inflammation, and Quantrill holds a 6.45 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 38:22 K:BB through 67 innings on the year. His spot in the Cleveland rotation is by no means secure coming out of the All-Star break.

Quantrill (2-5) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill had been dealing with shoulder inflammation but was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday's contest and made his first MLB start since May 30. The right-hander got into trouble the second time through the order and was eventually tagged for six runs, raising his ERA to 6.18 through 12 appearances. He has now allowed at least six runs in three straight starts and boasts a horrendous 6:7 K:BB during that stretch. It's encouraging to see Quantrill back in the big leagues, but he's not a strong fantasy option at the moment.

Quantrill was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He will rejoin the Guardians' rotation for a road start against the Cubs after missing the last four weeks with right shoulder inflammation. Quantrill was sharp in his lone rehab outing, but he threw only 58 pitches so his workload figures to be limited Friday. Considering his 5.61 ERA in 11 starts this season, he's not a great fantasy play even before factoring in those restrictions.

Quantrill (shoulder) will return to the Guardians' rotation Friday against the Cubs, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill looked sharp in his lone minor-league rehab start Sunday at Double-A Akron, scattering three hits and one walk over five scoreless innings. He tallied three strikeouts in the 58-pitch outing. The 28-year-old right-hander might be limited a bit Friday at Wrigley Field, but he's ready to rock following a four-week absence for a bout of shoulder inflammation.

Quantrill (shoulder) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three over five scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A Akron.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill threw 58 pitches (38 strikes), so it seems likely he'll need at least one more rehab start to stretch out closer to a starter's workload. The right-hander has been on the injured list since June 2. Once he's ready to rejoin the major-league roster, one of Tanner Bibee, Logan Allen or Gavin Williams would likely be optioned out unless the Guardians opt to go with a six-man rotation to build in extra rest for their rookie pitchers.

Quantrill (shoulder) is expected to begin his rehab assignment Sunday with Double-A Akron, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill was initially expected to take the mound Friday for Triple-A Columbus before the change of plans. He's expected to rejoin the Guardians on their road trip in Kansas City next week if all goes well in his rehab start.

Quantrill (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Columbus, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Right shoulder inflammation sent Quantrill to the injured list June 2. It's unclear how long he'll spend on assignment, but the Guardians could keep him down for multiple starts to ensure he gets back on track after allowing 14 runs over his last two major-league starts.

Quantrill was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Quantrill has been struggling mightily on the mound recently, surrendering 14 runs through 8.1 innings across his last two starts. A trip to the IL will ensure that he feels 100 percent ahead of his next start and could help him return to his usual self. Aaron Civale (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and will take Quantrill's spot in Cleveland's rotation.
