Brewers' Jose Quintana: Settles in after early trouble
Rotowire
Quintana didn't factor into the decision against the Giants on Friday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings.
The veteran southpaw was tagged for a pair of solo homers, one by Willy Adames in the first inning and another by Luis Matos in the second, but settled in and retired 10 of his final 11 batters. Quintana was pulled after 82 pitches, just two outs shy of what would've been his fourth straight quality start. Over that four-game stretch, he's posted a 2.66 ERA and a 16:4 K:BB, giving Milwaukee steady innings in the middle of the rotation.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Logs another quality start
Rotowire
Quintana did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Reds, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 6.1 innings.
Despite yielding just one run on a Jose Trevino sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, Quintana was on the hook for the loss until William Contreras blasted a two-run homer in the ninth. Quintana has logged three straight quality starts and is up to eight on the season. He has a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 34.1 innings across his six starts since the All-Star break. Quintana is lined up to face the Giants at home next weekend.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Six strong frames in 10th win
Rotowire
Quintana (10-4) picked up the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three.
Quintana delivered his second consecutive quality start, and he's now tossed at least five innings in 11 straight outings as well as 17 of his 18 for the season. The 36-year-old southpaw continues to struggle with containing the long ball, however, as he's now served up at least one homer in five straight starts. Quintana will bring a steady 3.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 69:36 K:BB over 99.1 frames into his next scheduled outing in Cincinnati against the Reds, who have a pitiful .607 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of July.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Moved up to Monday
Rotowire
Quintana will start Monday's series opener against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Quintana will be moved up a day to toe the rubber Monday, after he was initially set to go Tuesday. He'll swap spots in the rotation with Freddy Peralta, who will now line up to go opposite of Paul Skenes in Tuesday's matchup. The left-handed Quintana recorded a quality start Wednesday against Atlanta, tossing six innings and allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out a season-high seven batters. Quintana has struggled with the long ball recently, surrendering six home runs over his last four starts, something he'll look to correct against Pittsburgh.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Improves to 9-4
Rotowire
Quintana (9-4) earned the win over Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Quintana had a rocky start to his outing, allowing three singles that created one run in the first inning. He then settled down, keeping Atlanta off the board for the next three frames before surrendering a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings. Quintana's seven punchouts marked a season high, and this was just the fourth time over 17 outings that he didn't issue a free pass. With nine victories so far, the veteran left-hander has a legitimate chance of surpassing his career-high mark of 13 regular-season wins, which he has achieved on three separate occasions.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Cruises to eighth win
Rotowire
Quintana (8-4) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings in a 16-9 victory over the Nationals. He struck out four.
The veteran southpaw tossed 58 of 94 pitches for strikes in an inefficient outing, but the Brewers backed him with a season-high 25 hits. Quintana continues to provide Milwaukee with reliable innings, posting a 3.69 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB over 39 innings across his last seven starts, winning four of them. He could get plenty of run support again in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week in Atlanta.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Allows two homers in loss
Rotowire
Quintana (7-4) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing five runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.
Four of the five runs Quintana allowed came via the long ball, and he managed just three whiffs while throwing 58 of 99 pitches for strikes. Still, the veteran southpaw has now held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in 10 of his 15 starts this season. He'll take a 3.50 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 55:33 K:BB across 82.1 innings into a road matchup with the Nationals next weekend.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Survives for seventh win
Rotowire
Quintana (7-3) allowed four runs on four hits and no walks over six innings and picked up the win Sunday against the Dodgers. He struck out five.
The veteran southpaw worked around two long balls -- a two-run Shohei Ohtani homer in the third and an Esteury Ruiz solo blast in the fifth -- in this 83-pitch performance to tally his 109th career victory. Since returning from a shoulder injury June 1, Quintana has produced a 4.15 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 29:20 K:BB across 43.1 innings. In 77.1 total innings, the 36-year-old sports a 3.49 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 53:31 K:BB. Quintana is currently scheduled to make his next turn in the rotation against the Marlins at home next weekend.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Quality start vs. Dodgers
Rotowire
Quintana allowed one run on two hits and four walks over six innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Dodgers. He struck out four.
It was a strong outing overall for Quintana, with the Dodgers' lone run coming on a two-out, bases-loaded walk to Shohei Ohtani in the fifth inning. It's just the second time in Quintana's last 10 starts that he's made it through six innings. The left-hander will head into the All-Star break with a 3.28 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 48:31 K:BB across 13 outings (71.1 innings).

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Falls to Mets
Rotowire
Quintana (6-3) took the loss Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
Quintana was solid for the most part Thursday against his former team, allowing just one run through his first five innings. However, the left-hander would be charged with another two runs after allowing three straight singles in the sixth in an eventual 3-2 defeat for Milwaukee. The 36-year-old veteran has been shaky of late, posting a 5.06 ERA over his last four outings (21.1 innings). Overall, Quintana's ERA sits at 3.44 through 12 starts (65.1 innings) with a 1.53 WHIP and 44:27 K:BB. He's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Dodgers his next time out.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Rides run support to win
Rotowire
Quintana (6-2) picked up the win after throwing 5.2 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in Friday's 10-6 victory over the Rockies.
Quintana wasn't too sharp, but he rode a good offensive effort from the Brewers to the win. He's walked multiple batters in six straight starts and 18 total over that time, continuing a season-long theme for the left-hander. However, he's certainly gotten results as Friday marked just the third time he's allowed more than two runs in a start all season. The 36-year-old is lined up to face the Mets in his next outing.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Stingy in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Quintana (5-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 9-0 rout of the Twins, allowing three hits and four walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out only one.
The veteran lefty wasn't dominant, generating just four swinging strikes among his 90 pitches (52 total strikes), but Quintana got plenty of weak contact after the Brewers staked him to a 4-0 lead through two innings. The quality start was his third of the season, and Quintana will take a 2.98 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 36:25 K:BB through 54.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Lacks command in loss
Rotowire
Quintana (4-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Quintana was tagged for six runs across the fourth and fifth innings, failing to complete five frames for the first time this season despite throwing 101 pitches. It was the southpaw's first hiccup in three starts since returning from the injured list June 1, though he's now issued at least three walks in each of those outings. He owns a 3.35 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB across 48.1 innings and will look to bounce back in a road matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Throws five frames in return
Rotowire
Quintana did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over Philadelphia. He yielded two runs on four hits and four walks over five innings while striking out three batters.
Quintana made his first start since May 9 after spending nearly a month on the injured list with a shoulder issue. He threw only 48 of 82 pitches for strikes but tossed three scoreless innings after giving up a run in each of the first two frames. Quintana earned a win in each of his first four starts this season but has since posted a 5.28 ERA over 15.1 frames in his last three outings. He'll carry a 2.77 ERA into his next matchup, which is lined up to be at home against the Padres.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Reinstated for Sunday's start
Rotowire
The Brewers activated Quintana (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game at Philadelphia.
The veteran left-hander is rejoining Milwaukee's rotation Sunday after missing the past three weeks due to a shoulder impingement. Quintana threw 71 pitches across four innings during his lone rehab outing, so he could face some minor workload limitations in his first start back with the Brewers.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Set to return Sunday
Rotowire
Quintana (shoulder) is preparing to come off the injured list to start Sunday against the Phillies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The veteran left-hander threw 71 pitches across four frames during his rehab start with High-A Wisconsin on Tuesday, priming him to rejoin Milwaukee's rotation this weekend in Philadelphia. Quintana was pitching well prior to the shoulder injury and had a 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 34 innings.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Tosses 71 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Quintana (shoulder) gave up three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings in a rehab start Tuesday with High-A Wisconsin.
Quintana wasn't especially sharp in the rehab outing, but he built up to 71 pitches and should be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start with the Brewers on Sunday in Philadelphia. He'll likely return to Milwaukee on Wednesday for further evaluation and will presumably throw another bullpen session before the Brewers lock him in to start Sunday. Before being shelved earlier this month with a left shoulder impingement, Quintana had gone 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 34 innings.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Throwing 45-pitch bullpen session
Rotowire
Quintana (shoulder) will throw roughly 45 pitches in a bullpen session Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The bullpen session will include two "up-downs" to simulate rest in between innings. The Brewers will make a determination on the next steps for Quintana based on how the hurler feels during the session and how he recovers. Quintana has been sidelined since mid-May due to a left shoulder impingement.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Seeking second opinion
Rotowire
Manager Pat Murphy said Saturday that Quintana will receive a second opinion on his left shoulder impingement, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The Brewers skipper said Friday that Quintana may be able to return from the IL after the 15-day minimum, though the chances of that happening may be in jeopardy now that the veteran lefty is looking to hear from another doctor. A clearer return timeline should emerge once he receives his second opinion.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Goes on IL with shoulder injury
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Quintana on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.
Quintana experienced soreness in his pitching shoulder after his last start. While the Brewers had seemed optimistic about Quintana's ability to start this weekend on a few extra days of rest, the club has ultimately decided to put the southpaw on the IL. Quintana will be eligible for activation May 26, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready on that date. Tobias Myers has been recalled and will likely take Quintana's spot in the rotation.
