The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated left-hander Jose Quintana from the 15-day injured list on Sunday to start the series finale against the host Philadelphia Phillies.
Quintana was placed on the injured list with a shoulder impingement on May 14. He last pitched on May 9, allowing three runs (one earned) and five hits in 5 1/3 innings of a 4-3 road loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Brewers signed Quintana as a free agent on March 5, and he’s delivered for them. He’s 4-1 with a 2.65 ERA in six starts and has given up 12 runs (10 earned) in 34 innings.
Quintana, 36, spent last season with the New York Mets, finishing 10-10 with a 3.75 ERA in 170 1/3 innings. In his career, which began in 2012 with the Chicago White Sox, he is 106-104 with a 3.72 ERA with eight teams.
Quintana has made 12 starts against the Phillies in his career and is 1-2 with a 3.53 ERA in 66 1/3 innings.
Also Sunday, the Brewers designated left-hander Tyler Alexander for assignment.
Alexander, 30, posted a 3-5 record with a 6.19 ERA in 21 appearances (four starts) this season.
He is 20-33 with a 4.67 ERA in 164 career appearances (56 starts) with the Detroit Tigers, Rays and Brewers.
