Quantrill signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Quantrill was cut loose by Atlanta after giving up 12 earned runs in just eight innings during his two starts with the team, and he'll now find work in the Rangers' farm system for the final portion of the regular season. The 30-year-old righty could make a spot start for the Rangers over the next few weeks, but he won't be able to pitch if Texas secures a spot in the postseason.

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: Crushed by Philadelphia
Rotowire
Quantrill (4-12) allowed nine runs on nine hits while recording no walks or strikeouts over 3.1 innings to take the loss Thursday versus Philadelphia.
Quantrill hasn't been able to reverse his fortunes over his first two starts with Atlanta, though both games have been tough matchups. He left his team debut versus the Mets with calf cramps, and while he was cleared to pitch Thursday, he served up four of the seven homers the Phillies launched in a 19-4 defeat. This is the third time in his last five outings in which Quantrill has given up at least seven runs. Homers haven't been a massive part of the problem for him this season with a total of 22 allowed over 26 starts, but he still has a 6.04 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 85:35 K:BB through 117.2 innings. Chris Sale (ribs) is set to return from the injured list Saturday, pushing Atlanta to a six-man rotation, and Quantrill's next start is tentatively expected to be in Chicago versus the Cubs.

Braves' Cal Quantrill: Making team debut Saturday
Rotowire
Quantrill is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at Truist Park, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Before getting cut by the Marlins, Quantrill had endured a disappointing 2025 campaign, posting a 5.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 82:30 K:BB in 109.2 innings. An impending free agent this winter, Quantrill will look to pitch well over the final five weeks of the season with the hope of earning a rotation spot with Atlanta or another club heading into 2026.

Rotowire
Atlanta claimed Quantrill off waivers from the Marlins on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

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.
