Brewers' Jose Quintana: Sharp again in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Quintana (3-0) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings in an 11-3 rout of the Giants. He struck out three.
The veteran southpaw has been an outstanding addition to an injury-plagued Brewers rotation. Quintana has won three straight starts since making his season debut April 11, producing a dazzling 0.96 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 18.2 innings despite a lack of dominance -- he has just a 9:5 K:BB, and he generated only eight swinging strikes on 94 pitches (61 total strikes) Tuesday. Quintana will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in St. Louis.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Dazzles in Milwaukee debut
Rotowire
Quintana (1-0) picked up the win Friday, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings in a 7-0 victory over the Diamondbacks. He struck out two without walking a batter.
The veteran southpaw tossed 50 of 80 pitches for strikes in his 2025 debut after signing a one-year deal with the Brewers in early March and needing some extra time to get ramped up, and he didn't allow a runner to get past first base until his final inning of work. Quintana is coming off a strong campaign with the Mets, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:BB through 170.1 regular-season frames in 2024, and he appears ready to help stabilize Milwaukee's injury-ravaged rotation. He lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Tigers.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Recalled, starting Friday
Rotowire
Quintana will start against the Diamondbacks on Friday after being recalled by Milwaukee from the Rookie ACL Brewers, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Quintana spent much of the offseason as a free agent, but he signed a one-year deal with the Brewers in early March and opted to start the year in the minors to get stretched out. With multiple Milwaukee starters on the injured list, Quintana will get the call-up Friday and make his first appearance in a Brewers uniform, though it's uncertain what type of workload he will handle in his debut. The veteran southpaw went 10-10 across 31 regular-season starts for the Mets in 2024, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 135:63 K:BB across 170.1 innings.

Brewers' Jose Quintana: Sent to minors
Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Quintana to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
Quintana agreed to be optioned to the minors so that he could continue to get stretched out after he was unsigned throughout the offseason before reaching a one-year deal with Milwaukee on March 5. The veteran southpaw built up to three innings and 37 pitches in his final Cactus League outing March 22, so he may need just a couple of starts in the minors before the Brewers deem him ready to join the big-league rotation.
