DL Hall has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to a left lat strain, opening up a spot for Jose Quintana, who signed a one-year, $4.25 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. Hall struggled last season, going 1-2 with a 5.02 ERA across 13 appearances. Quintana, coming off a solid year with the New York Mets where he posted a 3.75 ERA, expressed his excitement to join a team with a strong winning culture. His contract includes a mutual option for 2026, worth $15 million, with various performance bonuses tied to innings pitched and starts made.

Quintana will compete for a spot in a Brewers rotation featuring notable names like Freddy Peralta and Aaron Civale, while Nestor Cortes was recently acquired as well. With Hall sidelined, the Brewers are counting on Quintana’s experience to bolster their pitching staff as they aim for another successful season.
