Cal Quantrill Debuting For Braves on Saturday
The Atlanta Braves will start right-hander Cal Quantrill, who was claimed off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Thursday, against the division-rival New York Mets on Saturday after they decided to skip right-hander Spencer Strider this weekend, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman. Right-hander Erick Fedde has also been moved to the bullpen. Quantrill, a 30-year-old Canadian native, was not good in Miami before being cut, going 4-10 with a career-worst 5.50 ERA (4.59 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 82 strikeouts and 30 walks in 109 2/3 innings over 24 starts. It's unclear if Quantrill will receive additional starts for Atlanta down the stretch, but we would suggest avoiding him as a fantasy streamer versus New York this weekend. Quantrill is in the 20th percentile in hard-hit rate and the 16th percentile in strikeout rate this year.
