Overview

  • Manager Pat Murphy said Quintana left the ballpark in a walking boot and is undergoing an MRI to determine the severity.
  • The injury occurred when Quintana covered first base to retire José Fermín after first baseman Jake Bauers deflected a grounder into foul territory.
  • Quintana had been struck by a Pedro Pages comebacker earlier in the same inning before departing after four frames in a 3-2 loss at St. Louis.
  • The 36-year-old left-hander is 11-7 with a 3.96 ERA over 24 starts this season, though he has a 7.40 ERA across his last four outings.
  • Milwaukee has already clinched a playoff berth and is dealing with a crowded injured list that includes pitchers Trevor Megill, Logan Henderson, DL Hall, Shelby Miller and Nick Mears.
