Jose Quintana

Quintana went from a solid, low-3.00 ERA pitcher with the White Sox to an unreliable pitcher with over a 4.00 ERA in his time with the Cubs. His strikeout rate continues to trend down, and despite pitching at least 171 innings in each of the past seven seasons, he's never won more than 13 games. A low-upside, low-floor play, Quintana is just NL-only material.

Jose Quintana undergoes thumb surgery, out two weeks

Jose Quintana underwent microscopic surgery on his left thumb Thursday. He is expected to miss two weeks before resuming a throwing program.

Fantasy Impact

Quintana reportedly hurt his thumb while washing dishes at his home in Miami. The laceration on his thumb required five stitches and he will be sidelined for at least two weeks. He underwent surgery on Thursday after nerve damage in his thumb was found. Quintana will most likely not be ready for Opening Day and it is unclear at this time when he will return. Look for Alec Mills to enter the rotation in his place.
