• Mets' Jose Quintana: Allows five runs in loss

  Rotowire Apr 23, 2024

  Quintana (1-2) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings. Quintana wasn't sharp in the outing, inducing just four swinging strikes and giving up a season-high five runs. The veteran hurler also yielded a season high in hits and walked multiple batters for the fifth straight start. Quintana had managed a solid 3.05 ERA despite a poor 16:11 K:BB and 1.50 WHIP coming into Monday, but the outing against the Giants paints a more reasonable picture of what to expect from the left-hander if he continues to allow batters to reach base at a high rate.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Goes five innings in no-decision

  Rotowire Apr 17, 2024

  Quintana allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters across five innings in a no-decision en route to a 3-1 victory over the Pirates on Tuesday. The Pirates were able to put runners on base relatively consistently against Quintana, but a fifth-inning RBI single off the bat of Bryan Reynolds ended up producing the only run Pittsburgh would score all day. The 35-year-old southpaw now owns a 3.05 ERA across 20.2 innings through four starts, though his 1.50 WHIP is a cause for concern.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Earns first win

  Rotowire Apr 11, 2024

  Quintana (1-1) earned the win Thursday over Atlanta, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out four. Quintana held Atlanta scoreless while allowing just one hit through his first four innings. The left-hander would surrender three runs in the fifth, but the Mets provided more than enough run support in an eventual 16-4 victory. Quintana's gotten off to a nice start this year, holding opponents to three runs or fewer in each of his first three outings despite consistent traffic. He sports a 3.45 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB through his first 15.2 innings. Quintana is currently in line for a home matchup with the Pirates early next week.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: New York-Atlanta postponed Wednesday

  Rotowire Apr 10, 2024

  Quintana and the Mets won't play Atlanta on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to a forecast of inclement weather in the Atlanta area. The two teams will make up the postponed game Sept. 26. As a result of the postponement, the Mets are likely to push each member of their five-man rotation back a day in the pitching schedule, so Quintana will presumably be in line to take the hill in Thursday's series finale.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Fans four in no-decision

  Rotowire Apr 6, 2024

  Quintana gave up one earned run on five hits and four walks while striking out four batters through 5.2 innings during Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds. He did not factor into the decision. The Reds were able to put runners on base consistently against Quintana, but aside from a first-inning solo home run by Spencer Steer, the left-hander was able to keep them from crossing home plate. However, New York wasn't able to take the lead until after Quintana left the game, so Friday's win was awarded to Drew Smith. The 35-year-old Quintana owns a 2.61 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through his first two starts and is tentatively scheduled to make his next appearance in Atlanta next week.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Hit with first loss

  Rotowire Mar 29, 2024

  Quintana dropped to 0-1 in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Brewers, giving up two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters across 4.2 innings. Quintana's day started strong, as he was able to get through three innings without giving up a run. However, things began to fall apart when he gave up a leadoff home run to Christian Yelich in the top of the fourth inning, and a sacrifice fly from William Contreras followed by a Yelich single in the fifth led to the southpaw's removal. A lack of run support didn't make things easier on the 35-year-old either, as the Mets' offense managed just one hit -- a Starling Marte solo home run. Quintana is in line to make his next start Wednesday at home versus the Tigers.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Mets-Brewers opener postponed

  Rotowire Mar 27, 2024

  Quintana and the Mets won't face the Brewers on Thursday after the game was postponed due to rain being in the forecast at Citi Field. With heavy rain expected to hit the East Coast, the decision was made to go ahead and delay the season opener one day. Quintana will oppose the Brewers' Freddy Peralta on Friday, which had previously been a scheduled off day in the season-opening three-game series.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Garners Opening Day nod

  Rotowire Mar 13, 2024

  The Mets announced Wednesday that Quintana will start the team's season opener March 28 versus the Brewers at Citi Field. Quintana became the logical choice for the Opening Day nod after Kodai Senga (shoulder) went down with an injury earlier in spring training that will likely cost him at least the first month of the season. Though he'll be functioning as the de facto staff ace to begin the campaign, the 35-year-old Quintana profiles as more of a mid-rotation or back-end arm at this stage of his career. The southpaw missed all of the first half of the 2023 season with a fractured rib, but he was a dependable innings eater upon returning after the All-Star break, pitching to a 3.57 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 60:24 K:BB across 75.2 frames.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Sharp again Tuesday

  Rotowire Mar 13, 2024

  Quintana allowed two hits and a walk over four scoreless innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. He struck out two. Facing a Washington lineup that included CJ Abrams, Lane Thomas and Joey Gallo, Quintana cruised through another sharp spring outing. The veteran southpaw has a 9:4 K:BB through 8.2 Grapefruit League innings as he prepares for an Opening Day assignment in the absence of Kodai Senga (shoulder). Quintana didn't make his 2023 debut until July 20 due to rib surgery but pitched well in the second half, posting a 3.57 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 75.2 innings.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Likely Opening Day starter

  Rotowire Mar 4, 2024

  Quintana is the likeliest candidate to get the Opening Day start for the Mets, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. With Kodai Senga (shoulder) set to miss the first month of the season or more, Quintana should be the next man up for New York to kick off the season. "It would be an honor. It's a dream for any starting pitcher," the veteran southpaw said last week. "Big crowd, a lot of energy. It's a gift." Quintana has thrown 100 or more innings only once in the last four seasons, but he's healthy headed into the spring and the Mets believe he can handle a much larger workload than the 75.2 innings he tossed in 2023 during a campaign that didn't begin until after the All-Star break due to rib surgery.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Shaky start to spring

  Rotowire Mar 1, 2024

  Quintana gave up two runs on two hits and three walks over 1.2 innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros. He struck out one. It was an inauspicious start to the spring for Quintana, who was facing most of Houston's Opening Day lineup, and the damage could have been worse had he not coaxed a double-play grounder out of Yordan Alvarez after walking Jose Altuve to lead off the game. The veteran southpaw made only 13 starts in 2023 during his first season with the Mets due to a rib issue that required surgery, but his 3.57 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 75.2 innings were respectable. With Kodai Senga (shoulder) set to miss a month or more to begin the 2024 campaign, New York needs Quintana to stay on the mound this time around.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Inefficient in no-decision

  Rotowire Sep 30, 2023

  Quintana came away with a no-decision in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep of the Phillies, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits over four innings. He struck out five without walking a batter. The Mets handed the veteran lefty an 8-0 lead after three innings, but Quintana stumbled in the fourth and got the hook after 96 pitches (64 strikes), failing to qualify for his fourth win of the year. He coughed up 10 runs (eight earned) in 10 innings over his final two starts of 2023, a sour ending to the campaign given the 3.02 ERA he posted in his first 11 trips to the mound after coming off the IL following the All-Star break. With one more season left on his contract at $13 million, Quintana should be locked into a rotation spot for the Mets in 2024.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Fans 10 in Saturday's loss

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2023

  Quintana (3-6) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs (five earned) on eight hits as the Mets fell 7-5 to the Phillies. He struck out 10 without walking a batter. The veteran southpaw generated 33 called or swinging strikes among his 103 pitches as he struck out double-digit batters for the first time since August 2019, but Quintana got hit hard when the Phillies did make contact and also served up multiple homers for the first time this season. In 12 starts since making his belated season debut after the All-Star break, Quintana has a 3.39 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 55:24 K:BB through 71.2 innings, numbers right in line with his 2022 resurgence. He'll take the mound one more time in 2023, at home next weekend in a rematch with the Phillies.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Earns third win

  Rotowire Sep 17, 2023

  Quintana (3-5) struck out two batters and earned a win over the Reds on Sunday. He allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk over 6.2 frames. Quintana coughed up a run in the first inning but held the Reds in check until Nick Senzel knocked a solo shot in the fifth. Quintana has allowed two or fewer runs in four straight starts and seven of his last eight. During that eight-start stretch, he's posted a 2.81 ERA, lowering his season mark to 3.02 through 65.2 frames. Quintana's next outing is currently projected to be in Philadelphia.

Quintana is still 2-5 on the season despite allowing two runs or fewer in seven of his 10 starts this season. Overall, the veteran southpaw sports a 3.05 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 43:23 K:BB across 59 innings. Quintana's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Possible waiver wire pickups

  Rotowire Sep 7, 2023

  In a season defined by inconsistent pitching performances up and down the rankings, you'd think Quintana would have more admirers. Only one of his nine starts since returning from a rib injury has been anything in the vicinity of bad, and seven of his past eight have been the textbook definition of quality. And this is coming from a guy who had a 2.93 ERA last year. It's true he went squishy for several years before then, but he was basically must-start during his first five seasons with the White Sox. And a closer look reveals that the bad years coincided with the juiced ball era, during which he averaged 1.2 HR/9. In the five years before then, he averaged 0.8 HR/9. In the two years since, he's averaged 0.4 HR/9. Doesn't seem like a coincidence, does it? With him lined up for two starts next week, it's time to put that theory to the test.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Settles for quality start Tuesday

  Rotowire Aug 30, 2023

  Quintana came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers, allowing three hits and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five. In a battle of veteran southpaws, Quintana and Andrew Heaney traded goose eggs before finally turning things over to the bullpens, with all the offense coming in the seventh inning and later. It was a strong bounce-back effort for Quintana, who had reeled off five straight quality starts before stumbling in Atlanta in his last outing. Since making his season debut after the All-Star break, the 34-year-old has a 3.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB through 47 innings, giving him streaming appeal heading into his next start, which is likely to come on the road next week against the Nationals.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Struggles in loss

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2023

  Quintana (1-5) allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus Atlanta. Quintana failed to complete six innings for the first time since his season debut July 20 versus the White Sox. Atlanta is the first team he's faced multiple times this year, but he couldn't replicate the success of allowing one run over six innings on Aug. 12. Quintana is now at a 3.73 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 30:17 K:BB through 41 innings across seven starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Rangers next week.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Strikes out five for first win

  Rotowire Aug 18, 2023

  Quintana (1-4) earned the win Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out five. Quintana was highly effective, going 1-2-3 through each of the first three innings and hurling six scoreless frames before finally surrendering a solo home run to Tyler O'Neill to open the seventh. It was the first home run allowed by the left-hander in six starts this season, while he's also allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of those six outings. On the down side, Quintana's also issued at least two walks in all but one start.

• Mets' Jose Quintana: Another strong outing wasted

  Rotowire Aug 12, 2023

  Quintana (0-4) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four. The southpaw continues to pitch very well -- he's delivered four straight quality starts after being limited to only five innings in his season debut July 20 -- and continues to have little to show for it due to a lack of run support, as the Mets have been shut out in his last two outings. Quintana will take a 3.03 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 29.2 innings into his next start, likely to come next week in St. Louis.
