Jose Quintana Not Sharp During Fifth Rehab Start
10 months agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Jose Quintana (ribs) threw 4 1/3 innings with five strikeouts at Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. He yielded five runs on four hits with three walks while launching 79 pitches. The 34-year-old was unimpressive in this one, but will have a chance to produce better results during a simulated game next on Thursday. The Mets likely want to see Quintana put together a stronger appearance before having him make his team debut. It's been a long road back for the veteran southpaw, who initially hit the injured list with a left rib fracture way back on March 27. Quintana's career-best 2.93 ERA and MLB-best 0.4 home runs per innings in 2022 render him a credible deeper-mixed/NL-only league stash with a return looming.
