Worse yet is the lack of innings. Only four times in eight starts has he gone a full six. This is from a guy who seemingly went seven or eight in each of his first 15 starts as a rookie last year.

The problem for him is that second and third time through the lineup. In innings 1-3 this year, he has a 1.13 ERA. In innings 4-9, he has a 7.17 ERA. To me, that's a sign of major-leaguer hitters catching up to his lack of pedigree. Keep in mind he wasn't a top prospect. He earned his spot in the majors by overachieving in the minors.

I'm not saying Quintana isn't a useful pitcher in Fantasy, but in standard mixed leagues, you can probably find better on the waiver wire.

Quintana only really ran into problems in two innings, the fourth and sixth, as he allowed all four runs on four hits and a walk in those two innings. He allowed six hits and three walks that led to his four runs, over 6 2/3 innings.

Quintana struck out four batters, while throwing 66 of his 111 pitches for strikes. His ERA rose to 3.97 on the season, though he ultimately earned a no decision, to keep his record at 2-1. He is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Red Sox. 

Quintana struck out five batters and walked one to improve his strikeout-to-walk ratio to 3-to-1 in 38 2/3 innings this year. His 117 pitches represented a season high as only 72 were called strikes.

Quintana will earn a rematch against Los Angeles in his next projected start Thursday on the road. In four starts away from home, the left-hander is 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA and is limiting opponents to a .220 batting average.

The report said Peavy is a possibility for Monday. Hector Santiago is the most likely replacement if Peavy can't pitch.
