Cal Quantrill

Cal Quantrill delivered a strong performance in Thursday's 9-1 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed just one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings. This outing was a refreshing display of efficiency from Quantrill, who entered the game with a somewhat inflated 3.94 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP from his previous starts this season. His ability to limit damage against a lineup like the Giants', while notching a win, should provide a slight boost to his fantasy value. However, his modest strikeout rate (6.1 K/9) and high FIP (5.05) suggest that fantasy managers should temper expectations. Quantrill remains a viable option in deeper leagues, particularly against weaker offenses, but his lack of overpowering stuff could limit his ceiling.

Cal Quantrill turned in a stellar performance on Friday, shutting down the Pirates over 7 2/3 innings.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed just three hits and no walks while striking out nine, securing a 3-2 win for the Rockies. This outing was a significant improvement for Quantrill, whose season had been marred by a high 4.31 ERA and a modest 5.9 K/9. His ability to keep the ball out of play, evidenced by a .258 BABIP, finally paid dividends in this start. While his FIP remains a concern at 5.12, performances like this could hint at a turnaround if he maintains such control and strikeout ability. Fantasy managers should keep a cautious but optimistic eye on Quantrill, as consistency will be key to his value moving forward.

Cal Quantrill struggled mightily in Saturday's 12-4 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out only two over five innings. This performance further inflates his already concerning ERA to 5.34 and WHIP to 1.50 for the season. Quantrill's inability to suppress runs or miss bats, evidenced by a low 4.8 K/9 and a high 6.04 FIP, casts doubt on his viability as a fantasy option in all but the deepest of leagues. His consistent struggles, highlighted by zero wins in six starts, make him a risky play moving forward.

Fantasy Impact
