Quantrill is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Nationals at Globe Life Field.
The Rangers moved Quantrill to the bullpen last weekend, but he made just one relief appearance before he was plugged back into the rotation after Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) landed on the injured list. After taking a no-decision last Wednesday against the Angels while giving up one run over five innings, Quantrill will be awarded a second straight start. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week, with another turn through the rotation awaiting him next Sunday at home versus the Angels.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Pitches well in no-decision
Rotowire
Quantrill allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Wednesday.
Quantrill did his part, but the Rangers' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead after he exited. The veteran right-hander threw 50 of 85 pitches for strikes in his return to the rotation after serving as a reliever over the weekend. For now, it appears Quantrill will fill the vacated rotation spot of Nathan Eovaldi (elbow). Quantrill has filled a versatile role this year, pitching to a 3.44 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 49:22 K:BB over 70.2 innings across 25 appearances (eight starts). Should he stick in the rotation, he's tentatively lined up to make his next appearance at home in a tough matchup versus the Nationals.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Entering rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
Quantrill is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Angels in Anaheim, Matt Postins of SI.com reports.
The Rangers will go with Quantrill over Jordan Montgomery as the replacement in the rotation for Nathan Eovaldi (elbow), who was placed on the injured list Monday. Quantrill most recently made a one-inning relief appearance Saturday against the Orioles, but the right-hander had started or served as a bulk reliever in each of his prior eight appearances, going 1-4 with a 3.57 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 24:9 K:BB in 35.1 innings during that stretch.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Moving to bullpen
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumacher told reporters Friday that Quantrill will move out of the rotation and into the bullpen, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
The Rangers will go with a five-man rotation, which means both Quantrill and Jordan Montgomery will shift over to the bullpen. Quantrill had been a part of Texas' rotation since late June, and across seven starts he posted a 1-4 record with a 3.51 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 33.1 innings. It wouldn't be surprising to see Quantrill operate as a long reliever out of the bullpen over the remainder of the season unless a spot opens up in the rotation over the last few weeks of the regular season.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Pitches well despite loss
Rotowire
Quantrill (4-4) allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings in a loss to San Francisco on Monday.
Quantrill was hurt by two errors behind him in the second inning, allowing the Giants to scored a pair of unearned runs. The only other time San Francisco scored against him was when Jung Hoo Lee swatted a solo homer in the third. Quantrill retired 11 of the 13 batters he faced following that homer, but Texas' offense couldn't provide enough runs to take the righty off the hook. Despite the loss, Quantrill recorded his second quality start of the campaign (though it's worth nothing that he didn't move into the rotation until late June). He's produced a respectable 3.31 ERA over 35.1 frames since then, with all but one of his eight appearances coming as a starter. It remains to be seen, though, if Quantrill will remain in the rotation when Jordan Montgomery (elbow), Cody Bradford (elbow) and/or Jack Leiter (ankle) return from the injured list.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Slated for bulk relief Wednesday
Rotowire
Quantrill is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tyler Alexander during Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The White Sox will roll out a starting lineup featuring three left-handed batters in the top four spots, so the left-handed Alexander will likely work the first inning or two in an effort to neutralize those hitters. Quantrill is then expected to enter the game once Alexander exits, which could aid Quantrill's chances of coming away with a win. Quantrill had started in each of his last five appearances, going 0-2 with a 4.29 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across 21 innings.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Roughed up by Atlanta
Rotowire
Quantrill (3-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing six runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out three across four innings.
Quantrill got out of the first inning unscathed after giving up two baserunners, but that's where the good news ended for the veteran right-hander. He gave up at least two runs in three of the next four frames, with four of those runs coming on two homers in the fourth inning. It marks the most runs Quantrill has given up in a game since Aug. 28, 2025 against the Phillies, when he yielded nine runs across 3.1 innings. He sits at a 3.93 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 50.1 innings this season. Quantrill is lined up to make his next start at home against the White Sox, which could be his last turn in the rotation if Jordan Montgomery (elbow) is cleared to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Settles for no-decision
Rotowire
Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-3 win over Houston, allowing one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out one batter across six innings.
The 31-year-old's lone run allowed came courtesy of Yordan Alvarez's homer in the sixth. Quantrill otherwise did a great job keeping the Astros' offense in check while allowing just two batters to reach base between the third and sixth innings. He left the game with a 3-1 lead but was forced to settle for a no-decision after the Rangers' bullpen allowed Houston to tie the game in the seventh, leaving the righty still in search of his first win since June 3. Quantrill now owns a 2.12 ERA and 0.94 WHIP across 17 innings in four starts since joining the rotation.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Steps up on home soil
Rotowire
Quantrill didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays, scattering two hits and a walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Making just his second career start in Toronto, the Canadian right-hander blanked the Jays over 55 pitches (36 strikes) but wasn't stretched out enough to qualify for the win and take advantage of a five-run fifth inning by the Rangers. Quantrill is making a case to remain in the rotation while Jack Leiter (ankle) is on the shelf, and he'll take a 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB through 35.1 innings and 17 appearances (two starts) into his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Tigers.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Making first start with Texas
Rotowire
The Rangers announced Quantrill as their starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Marlins in Miami.
For at least one turn, the Rangers will turn to Quantrill as a replacement in the rotation for Jack Leiter (ankle), who was moved to the injured list Sunday. Though he's worked exclusively out of the bullpen for Texas since receiving a promotion April 15, Quantrill started three times for Triple-A Round Rock prior to his call-up and has made 149 starts over parts eight seasons in the big leagues. Quantrill has maxed out at 3.1 innings and 70 pitches across his 15 relief appearances over the past two months, so despite his wealth of starting experience, he's still likely to handle a limited workload Tuesday before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers selected Quantrill's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Quantrill has made three starts at Round Rock so far this year and owns a 5.14 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 14 innings. The Rangers are short on bullpen arms after losing Chris Martin (biceps) and Luis Curvelo (shoulder) to the injured list Wednesday, so Quantrill could be tapped for long-relief duties while in the majors.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Returns to Texas
Rotowire
Quantrill signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers on Thursday, which includes an invitation to spring training, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Quantrill closed the 2025 season in the Rangers' organization, making two starts at Triple-A Round Rock. He looks unlikely to break camp in the rotation after posting a 6.04 ERA over 26 appearances between Atlanta and Miami last year, but he could make an impact at some point in the new campaign.

Cal Quantrill: Released by Atlanta

Atlanta released Quantrill on Thursday.
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.

Braves' Cal Quantrill: Moving to bullpen
Rotowire
Manager Brian Snitker said Saturday that Quantrill will work as a long reliever going forward, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
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.

Braves' Cal Quantrill: Cleared for next start
Rotowire
Quantrill (calf) is slated to start Thursday's series opener against the Phillies in Philadelphia, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
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.

Braves' Cal Quantrill: Exits with calf cramps
Rotowire
Quantrill was removed from Saturday's start against the Mets as a precaution due to calf cramps.
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.

Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Hammered for seven runs
Rotowire
Quantrill (4-9) yielded seven runs on nine hits and three walks over 4.1 innings Tuesday, striking out two and taking a loss against Houston.
Quantrill gave up a two-run shot to Jose Altuve in the first inning, followed by a two-run triple from Jeremy Pena in the fourth. Yainer Diaz then blew the game open with a three-run shot in the fifth. Quantrill had allowed only one run over his previous 16 innings before stumbling against the Astros on Tuesday. It was the first time he yielded multiple homers in an outing since April 25, and it pushed his ERA up to 5.21 through 102 innings this season. Quantrill is lined up to take the mound in Atlanta this weekend.

Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Tosses five scoreless frames
Rotowire
Quantrill (4-8) earned the win over St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing three hits and issuing two walks while striking out three batters over five scoreless innings.
All three of the hits Quantrill gave up were singles, and he escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam in his final inning to emerge with the victory. The performance continued an impressive stretch for the right-hander during which he's allowed just one run over 16 innings across his past three starts. Quantrill is still at a mediocre 4.79 ERA on the campaign, but he's been pretty consistent for almost three months, giving up three or fewer earned runs in 15 of his past 16 outings.

Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Struggles persist in eighth loss
Rotowire
Quantrill (3-8) took the loss Thursday against the Reds, giving up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.
The six runs were Quantrill's most yielded since April 19, and the seven hits allowed were his most since May 30. The soft-tossing right-hander has yet to last six innings in an outing in 2025, and he's exceeded five strikeouts just five times in 18 appearances. Quantrill will bring a poor 5.62 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 67:24 K:BB over 81.2 frames into the All-Star break, and he'll have little fantasy appeal even as a streaming option in the second half.

Marlins' Cal Quantrill: Takes no-decision Sunday
Rotowire
Quantrill allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Quantrill had a decent outing, throwing 54 of 87 pitches for strikes, but the Marlins' run support didn't show up until the eighth inning. He has gone seven starts without a win, allowing 16 runs (15 earned) over 32 innings in that span. Quantrill hasn't found much opportunity to pitch deep into games, and that will make wins tough to come by. He's at a 5.42 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 56:22 K:BB through 73 innings over 16 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.
