Playing catch
Quintana (hamstring) has resumed playing catch, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Quintana returned to throwing only three days after being placed on the injured list, a positive sign that his absence won't be long-term. However, he also hasn't been cleared for any additional activity, so his exact timeline for a return is unclear.

Placed on injured list
The Rockies placed Quintana on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Monday.
Analysis
Quintana allowed two earned runs over 4.1 innings during his Rockies debut on Sunday, but he appears to have come away from his start with a hamstring injury. He'll miss his next couple of turns through the rotation as a result, though it remains unknown if he'll need more than a minimum-length stay on the IL. Valente Bellozo was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move and figures to take Quintana's place in the rotation.
