Triple-A is not where Cal Quantrill wants to be.

But if his most recent start with the Texas Rangers’ Round Rock Express is any indication, the 31-year-old right-hander might not be there for long.

On Saturday, he started and hurled five scoreless innings to earn the win against the Atlanta Braves’ triple-A Gwinnett Stripers.

For his efforts, Quantrill (Port Hope, Ont.) has been named the Canadian Baseball Network’s first Minor League Player of the Week (March 30 to April 5) of 2026.

Quantrill allowed just three hits and struck out four, without walking a batter, in the start. He threw 49 of his 76 pitches for strikes.

The veteran righty was the only Canadian minor league pitcher to throw five innings in a start last week.

Quantrill, who owns a 47-46 record and a 4.35 ERA in 187 games (149 starts) in parts of eight MLB seasons with the Padres, Guardians, Rockies, Marlins and Braves, signed a minor league contract with the Rangers on February 1.

Last month, in a do-or-die contest for Canada at the World Baseball Classic, Quantrill started and held the Cuban squad to just two hits and one unearned run, while fanning five in five innings, to lead Canada to a 7-2 victory.
