Cal Quantrill News: Struggles persist in eighth loss

Quantrill (3-8) took the loss Thursday against the Reds, giving up six runs (five earned) on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

The six runs were Quantrill's most yielded since April 19, and the seven hits allowed were his most since May 30. The soft-tossing right-hander has yet to last six innings in an outing in 2025, and he's exceeded five strikeouts just five times in 18 appearances. 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.
