Brewers Reinstate Quintana, DFA Alexander Ahead Phillies Series Finale

The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated left-handed pitcher Jose Quintana from the 15-day injured list to start the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies, marking his return after a shoulder impingement sidelined him for three weeks. Quintana, who had been 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA in six starts before the injury, delivered a solid outing in the Brewers' 5-2 win, limiting the Phillies to two early runs while keeping most balls in the infield and helping his team complete a sweep. To make room for Quintana, the Brewers designated left-hander Tyler Alexander for assignment, who struggled this season with a 6.19 ERA in 21 appearances. Quintana's veteran presence has been valuable for Milwaukee, and his return is seen as a boost for the pitching rotation. Alexander's recent performance included a high ERA in May and several difficult innings, which contributed to the Brewers' decision. Quintana's career spans multiple teams with consistent performances, and he has a history of competitive outings against the Phillies.
