Quintana was named the Opening Day starter for the White Sox on Friday, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as Quintana was the clear frontrunner after the White Sox traded Chris Sale to the Red Sox in the offseason. The 28-year-old is coming off his best season yet, earning his first All-Star Game selection after posting a 3.20 ERA with 181 strikeouts across 208 innings.
