Rangers Place Cal Quantrill On Injured List
The Texas Rangers have placed right-handed pitcher Cal Quantrill on the 15-day injured list due to a right lat strain, recalling Winston Santos from Triple-A. Quantrill's injury occurred during his last start, where his fastball velocity significantly dropped. This injury will sideline him for the Wild Card Series, though he might return for the Division Series if the Rangers advance, impacting the team's pitching rotation as they contend for the AL West title.
Why it matters
Quantrill's injury is a significant blow to the Rangers' pitching staff during a critical playoff push, potentially affecting their postseason performance and strategy.
The Rangers announced this afternoon that right-hander Cal Quantrill is going on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain. Fellow righty Winston Santos is being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to take Quantrill’s spot. The move is 40-man neutral.
Quantrill started yesterday against the Blue Jays but was removed after just 1 1/3 innings. He has averaged 93.8 mph on his four-seamer this year, but he averaged just 91.7 mph last night, throwing his last fastball for 87.8 mph. After a managerial visit, Quantrill was removed from the game for lefty Jordan Montgomery , who recorded the next 11 outs.
