Rockies Hope Cal Quantrill Will Return This Year
3 months agoColorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that right-hander Cal Quantrill (triceps), who landed on the 15-day injured list over the weekend with right-triceps inflammation, had an MRI exam on Aug. 31 and then received a cortisone shot with the hope that the inflammation calms down and he can make starts at the end of the season in late September. Quantrill is heading into the final year of salary arbitration this offseason and is expected to be a key part of Colorado's starting rotation, so they would like him going into the offseason on a high note. The 29-year-old was scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday at Coors Field against the Baltimore Orioles. Even in deeper fantasy leagues, managers shouldn't be banking on Quantrill's return to close out 2024. Left-hander Ty Blach took Quantrill's rotation spot on Sunday and should stick around in the rotation for the time being.
