Quinn Mathews is a fantasy baseball waiver wire stash for Week 11 (2025). Target Quinn Mathews as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
CALL-UP ETA: June
ANALYSIS: St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews was a popular name in this column during the opening month of the campaign, but suffered a shoulder injury. However, Mathews is back in action and remains on a trach to reach the majors this season.
In his most recent outing, Mathews tossed five innings of one-run ball (no earned runs) with five hits and no walks. In this start against Triple-A Indianapolis, he struck out six batters. This was a much-needed bounce-back for Mathews as he allowed two runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first start since returning from the Triple-A IL.
Before the injury, Mathews had a rough start to the season, allowing seven runs in just 10 1/3 innings of work.
Last season, the left-hander was one of the most impressive pitchers in the minor leagues. He opened the season with Low-A but was able to reach Triple-A by the end of the campaign. Through 143 1/3 total innings, Mathews held a 2.76 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP.
Given his strong 2024 campaign, Mathews may only need a few more outings at Triple-A before earning the call to St. Louis.
Quinn Mathews' final line:
5 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
Mathews' stuff looked the liveliest it’s been since returning back to the mound. His heater averaged 95 MPH w/ 17” vert. SL and CH both recorded 4 whiffs a piece. Also mixed in a 77 MPH CB. pic.twitter.com/CQIzjIKVpc
