Quintana, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-boosts-pitching-depth-with-jose-quintana-addition" rel="noopener">a free agent acquisition</a> this past offseason, was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-jose-quintana-dealt-brutal-injury-update-ahead-of-wbc" rel="noopener">forced to withdraw</a> from the World Baseball Classic due to injury. However, it was unclear how much time Quintana was expected to miss.

Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Kodai Senga, and Carlos Carrasco are already set to pitch in the rotation. David Peterson and Tylor Megill will now have an opportunity to battle for the fifth spot on the starting pitching staff.</p><p>The Mets expect to compete not just for an NL East title this season, but for a World Series championship. As all teams are well-aware of, pitching depth is crucial to winning. If Jose Quintana can return during the middle of the season and perform well, he will add pivotal depth to the Mets’ pitching staff.</p><p>This Quintana injury update is obviously far from ideal. However, there’s still a chance that he is able to contribute in a high-profile manner down the stretch.</p><p>UPDATE: Andy Martino shared an interesting update on Jose Quintana, <a href="https://twitter.com/martinonyc/status/1635344194570174464" rel="noopener">reporting</a> that the three-month shut down is just one option.</p><p>“What I’m told on Mets’ Jose Quintana: Today Mets still gathering info on his timeline, and will know within a few days how long to shut him down. Front office was talking to one of the docs a few minutes ago. There are a few options on the table, 3 month shutdown is one of them,” Martino wrote on Twitter.</p><p>There may still be uncertainty as to how much time Quintana will miss based on this report.</p><p>We will continue to monitor and provide updates on the Mets as they are made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Mets announced Monday that Quintana has a small stress fracture in his <a href="https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1632868741863317504" rel="noopener">left rib cage</a>. The pitcher is headed back to New York for further tests.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-jose-quintana-leaves-spring-training-start-with-injury-with-wbc-participation-up-in-the-air" rel="noopener">Jose Quintana</a> was supposed to pitch for Colombia in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-edwin-diaz-potential-wbc-usage-worries-new-york" rel="noopener">World Baseball Classic</a>. The veteran left the Mets’ spring training game Sunday after pitching one inning with what the team called “left-side tightness.” Quintana’s injury appears to be more severe than the Mets had initially hoped.</p><p>There is no timetable for Quintana’s return. When Quintana announced that he would no longer play for Colombia in the WBC, the veteran said that he wanted to be ready for the start of the 2023 MLB season.</p><p>Colombia is scheduled to play its first <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/im-completely-humbled-mark-derosa-reacts-to-getting-major-usa-baseball-opportunity-ahead-of-wbc" rel="noopener">WBC</a> game Saturday. The Mets will visit the Miami Marlins for Opening Day on March 30.</p><p>Quintana threw a perfect inning before exiting Sunday’s game with an injury. The pitcher gave up five runs in less than an inning during his spring training debut on Feb. 28.</p><p>Quintana was part of three additions to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mets-news-new-york-boosts-pitching-depth-with-jose-quintana-addition" rel="noopener">Mets’ rotation</a> in free agency. New York signed the 34-year-old to a two-year, $26 million contract. The Mets also acquired AL Cy Young winner Justin Verlander and Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga</p><p>The 2022 season was arguably the best year of Quintana’s MLB career. In 32 starts, the left-hander posted a 2.93 ERA.</p><p>The Pittsburgh Pirates sent Quintana to the St. Louis Cardinals shortly before the trade deadline. With a 2.01 ERA in 12 starts for St. Louis, Quintana helped lead the Cardinals to an NL Central championship.</p><p>The Mets are among the World Series favorites in large part because of their rotation. Verlander and Max Scherzer and Verlander are New York’s top starters for the 2023 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, those plans are on hold after he left a spring training start against the St. Louis Cardinals.</p><p>The left-handed pitcher pitched one inning in the game before leaving <a href="https://twitter.com/timbhealey/status/1632475562051551233" rel="noopener">due to tightness</a> on his left side.

It was very encouraging, because the 34-year-old pitcher had trouble with the pitch clock in his first game this spring.</p><p>Quintana is entering his 12th year in the big leagues. He spent the first six years of his career with the Chicago White Sox, and he has also pitched for the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Angels, San Francisco Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals.</p><p>Jose Quintana will likely be the first starter for Colombia in the WBC if he is healthy enough to participate. If Quintana can’t pitch, that honor would likely go to veteran right-handed pitcher Julio Teheran.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
