José Quintana Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed free-agent left-hander Jose Quintana to a one-year, $2 million deal on Sunday, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. The 32-year-old had a year to forget, posting a 6.43 ERA and 1.73 WHIP while striking out 28.6% of the batters he faced across 63 innings split between the Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants. He appeared in 29 games but started just 10, though he will likely be utilized as a starter with the Pirates given their lack of big-league starting pitching. After being a solid arm for many years, Quintana is all but irrelevant in fantasy at this point, as he owns a 5.13 ERA over the past three seasons, and he won't win many games while pitching for Pittsburgh.

The San Francisco Giants designated pitcher Jose Quintana for assignment on Thursday. The move was made to help clear space for the return of pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) and outfielder Darin Ruf (oblique) from the injured list. The team also placed relief pitcher Tony Watson (shoulder) on the injured list on Thursday. Quintana joined the Giants in late August and only made five appearances with the team, all in relief. He had a 4.66 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP over those five appearances.

The San Francisco Giants claimed pitcher Jose Quintana off waivers from the Angels on Monday. Quintana signed a one-year deal with the Angels this season, but compiled a 6.75 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 53 1/3 innings pitched while dealing with shoulder inflammation. The 32-year-old was great in the beginning of his career, so the Giants are likely hoping to turn him around as they have done so with many pitchers over the past couple seasons. It remains to be seen how the Giants intend to utilize Quintana, but fantasy managers should avoid him at this point in the season regardless.
