New York Mets left-hander Jose Quintana will be looking for a better outing on Friday when he takes on the Cincinnati Reds. He allowed just two runs in his first start of the season in 4 1/3 innings of work but also six hits, including a homer, with two walks against four strikeouts. It was a decent start to the season after Quintana worked to a 3.57 ERA across 13 starts last season while a rib injury cost him significant time. With the solid, yet injury-shortened season, Quintana placed himself back under the radar but he also struck out just 18.8% of the hitters he faced, a career-low for the veteran. He makes for a decent back-end starter for fantasy managers if he can prevent runs at a similar clip in the 2024 campaign.
New York Mets left-hander Jose Quintana will officially be the team's Opening Day starter on March 28 against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road. Quintana is getting the nod to kick things off for the Metropolitans in 2024 because right-hander Kodai Senga (shoulder) is being forced to start the year on the injured list due to a right-shoulder injury. The 35-year-old veteran Quintana had a decent 3.57 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 60 strikeouts and 24 walks in 75 2/3 innings over his 13 starts in New York last year after getting a late start to the year due to a fractured rib. The Colombian southpaw can be a reliable innings-eater in NL-only leagues at the back of your fantasy rotation, but there's very little upside left at this stage of Quintana's career for those in mixed leagues.
New York Mets veteran left-hander Jose Quintana appears slated to be the team's Opening Day starter in 2024. He made an Opening Day start with the Chicago White Sox in 2017 and allowed three home runs and six runs total in a loss to the Tigers. Quintana didn't finish the second inning in his first Grapefruit League start last Thursday to mostly Astros starters. He missed the first half of 2023 with a rib injury and threw 75 2/3 innings total last year, but he said he shouldn't have any problems working back toward 180 innings or more in 2024. Kodai Senga (shoulder) is expected to miss at least the first month of the season, so the Mets will need some pitchers to step up at the top of their rotation in his absence. The 35-year-old Quintana is an extreme health risk, as he's gone over 100 innings just once in the last four years.
